Immunotherapy
Immunotherapy is a biological treatment that is non-invasive. It strengthens the immune system, thereby enhancing the body’s natural defenses. The body’s immune system consists of white blood cells, bone marrow, the lymphatic system, antibodies, and the spleen. When white blood cells detect any type of cancerous cell production, they immediately wage a response against them in order to prevent their growth; however, the strong cancerous cells create an environment that makes it difficult for white blood cells to recognize them. Since malignant cells continue to divide and the production of white blood cells ceases, the disease continues to spread. Immunotherapies come in a variety of forms; some are designed to kill cancerous cells, while others seek to prevent the cancerous cells from invading other organs. The dosage of the medication depends on the patient’s general health, cancer stage, age, and cancer’s location. These medications are most effective when combined with other therapies, such as chemotherapy. Immunotherapy has a 20% success rate, but it has several adverse effects, including:
Itchy Muscle pains
loss of hunger
Sneezing and fever
