What is Immunotherapy?
Immunotherapy is a revolutionary treatment that enhances the body’s own immune system to identify and destroy cancer cells. Unlike traditional therapies, immunotherapy targets cancer selectively, improving the body’s natural defense mechanisms.
It can be administered through:
Monoclonal antibodies
Immune checkpoint inhibitors
Cancer vaccines
Adoptive cell therapies
What is Radiotherapy?
Radiotherapy uses high-energy radiation to kill or damage cancer cells. It can target tumors precisely, preserving surrounding healthy tissues. Radiotherapy can be delivered externally (external beam) or internally (brachytherapy), depending on the type and location of cancer.
Why These Treatments Are Important
Both immunotherapy and radiotherapy play a critical role in modern oncology:
✅ Target cancer cells while protecting healthy tissue
✅ Can be combined with surgery or chemotherapy for better outcomes
✅ Reduce tumor size and prevent recurrence
✅ Improve survival rates and quality of life
✅ Offer options for advanced or resistant cancers
How Treatment Works
Immunotherapy: Strengthens the immune system to detect and attack cancer. The treatment schedule depends on the cancer type and patient response.
Radiotherapy: Uses advanced machines to deliver focused radiation beams. Planning involves detailed imaging (CT, MRI, PET-CT) to maximize precision.
Both treatments are carefully monitored by oncologists to ensure effectiveness and safety.
