Benefits of Immunotherapy
The effects of immunotherapy vary significantly between individuals. This variable immunotherapy response enables more accurate identification and prognosis of how patients will respond to a particular immunotherapy. Doctors use biomarkers to determine an individual’s response to a particular immunotherapy. Immunotherapy is a standard treatment for a variety of cancer types, including melanoma and bladder cancer, due to its benefits, which include a reduced risk of cancer recurrence, fewer side effects, and high efficacy. When immunotherapy is combined with other cancer treatments, there is also an increased risk of toxicity and an increase in cost.
The researchers conclude from a series of clinical trials on immunotherapy that, by repairing the defective gene and averting the abnormal multiplication of cancer cells, it is superior to other cancer treatments. Immunotherapy, unlike other standard cancer treatments, offers the possibility of long-term cancer remission and improved quality of life. In addition, the anticancer immunity that develops in a cancer patient improves the quality of life and better prepares the body to battle cancer cells. Immunotherapy increases the five-year survival rate of cancer patients and improves their chances of survival, according to the studies. The following are some remarkable advantages of immunotherapy:
