Immunotherapy for Lung Cancer
Immunotherapy is a treatment for lung cancer that uses the body's own immune system to help fight the cancer. It works by stimulating the immune system to recognize and destroy cancer cells. This type of therapy is becoming increasingly important for treating lung cancer, as it has been shown to be effective in shrinking tumors and prolonging survival in some people with advanced lung cancer. Immunotherapy can also be used to treat a variety of other cancers, such as melanoma, kidney cancer, and bladder cancer. This type of therapy may be used alone or in combination with other treatments, and the benefits vary from patient to patient. Immunotherapy can often provide a better quality of life for people with cancer, and it is an important tool for improving their outcomes.
