In this article, Dr Arun Chandrasekharan, the best head and neck oncologist in India, talks about different cancer treatments – Immunotherapy and Targeted therapy.
The article covers details on Immunotherapy that increases the body’s immunity to fight against cancer cells. It acts on one’s immune system and teaches the immune system to identify and destroy cancer cells.
While Targeted therapy destroys cancer cells by boosting the immune system, blocking the protein that causes cell division, delivering oxygen and nutrients to the tumour.
The article also mentions research that is underway on cancer detection by blood tests, but a very accurate test method has not arrived so far.
