Neuro-oncology Immunotherapy

Neuro-oncology immunotherapy is a treatment approach for brain cancers that uses the body's immune system to fight tumors. Instead of directly targeting the cancer cells, this therapy enhances the immune response, helping the body recognize and attack the cancer more effectively. It can involve techniques such as checkpoint inhibitors, which remove barriers that prevent immune cells from attacking tumors, and CAR T-cell therapy, which modifies a patient's own cells to better target cancer. This innovative approach aims to improve outcomes for patients with challenging brain tumors by harnessing the body's natural defenses.
