Immunotherapy in Gurugram – Advanced Cancer Treatment by Dr. Kanika Bansal
Immunotherapy is a cutting-edge cancer treatment that empowers your own immune system to recognize and destroy cancer cells. Unlike traditional treatments like chemotherapy or radiation that attack cancer directly, immunotherapy enhances your body’s natural defenses to fight the disease more effectively and with fewer side effects.
At Dr. Kanika Bansal’s clinic in Gurugram, we offer advanced and personalized immunotherapy protocols designed to provide hope, healing, and a better quality of life for patients battling various forms of cancer.
How Immunotherapy Works
Your immune system is your body’s first line of defense, but cancer can sometimes evade detection. Immunotherapy helps in:
- Activating immune cells to target cancer.
- Blocking immune checkpoints that cancer uses to hide.
- Marking cancer cells so they become visible to your immune system.
- Modifying immune cells (CAR T-cell therapy) to hunt down cancer cells more effectively.
Types of Immunotherapy Offered
Dr. Kanika Bansal provides a range of immunotherapy options based on the type, stage, and biology of your cancer:
1. Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors
Medications that block checkpoints (like PD-1, PD-L1, and CTLA-4) allowing immune cells to attack cancer.
2. Monoclonal Antibodies
Lab-made proteins that mimic the immune system’s ability to fight off harmful pathogens, specifically targeting cancer cells.
3. Cancer Vaccines
Used to stimulate the immune system against cancer-specific antigens.
4. Adoptive Cell Therapy (ACT)
Involves extracting immune cells, enhancing their cancer-fighting ability, and reinfusing them into the patient.
5. Cytokine Therapy
Boosts the number and activity of immune cells by using proteins such as interleukins and interferons.
