Advancements in immunotherapy

Advancements in immunotherapy involve developing treatments that enhance the body’s own immune system to fight diseases like cancer. Instead of traditional therapies that target the tumor directly, immunotherapy helps immune cells recognize and attack cancer cells more effectively. Recent progress includes immune checkpoint inhibitors, which release the “brakes” on immune cells, and personalized vaccines that train the immune system to target specific cancer markers. These innovations have improved outcomes for many patients, offering more targeted, less toxic options and opening new possibilities for treating various cancers and immune-related conditions.
