Pediatric Cancer Biotherapy

Pediatric cancer biotherapy is a treatment approach that uses the body's immune system to fight cancer in children. Unlike traditional therapies like chemotherapy, which attack all fast-growing cells, biotherapy specifically targets cancer cells. This can involve using substances made by the body, such as antibodies or immune cells, or drugs that enhance the immune response. The goal is to increase the body's ability to recognize and destroy cancer cells while minimizing harm to healthy cells. This innovative method aims to improve the effectiveness of treatment and reduce side effects in young patients battling cancer.
