İmmunotherapy

What is immunotherapy?
Immunotherapy is a new dimension of drug therapy in cancer. Millions of cancer cells are born in our bodies every day. There are cells in the human immune system to defeat cancer cells. When the immune system recognizes cancer cells, it immediately takes action and destroys the cell. T cells (T lymphocytes) in the immune system fight them. T cells fight against the cancer cell and try to destroy it. However, thanks to the receptor on the cancer cells, it binds the T cells to their receptors and prevents them from fighting against themselves.
Immunotherapy drugs prevent T cells and cancer cells from connecting through these receptors and enable T cells to do their job. The aim of immunotherapy is to strengthen the immune system and enable the body to defeat cancer itself.

How is immunotherapy done?

Immunotherapy drugs, like chemotherapy, are given intravenously via serum. But it is more comfortable than chemotherapy. It does not cause any significant problems while applying.
