Immunotherapy at Guru Cancer Center: Empowering the Body's Defense Against Cancer

Immunotherapy stands at the forefront of cutting-edge cancer treatments offered at Guru Cancer Center, leveraging the body’s own immune system to combat cancer cells. This transformative approach aims to enhance the immune response, enabling the body to recognize and effectively target cancer cells. Our dedicated team of oncologists harnesses the power of immunotherapy either as a standalone treatment or in conjunction with surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or targeted therapy.
Key Aspects of Immunotherapy at Guru Cancer Center
Stimulating the Immune System: Immunotherapy boosts the body’s natural defenses, activating immune cells to identify and eliminate cancer cells.
Types of Immunotherapy
  • Checkpoint Inhibitors: Block proteins that restrain immune responses, allowing immune cells to target cancer more effectively.
  • CAR T-Cell Therapy: Engineered immune cells (T cells) are infused into the patient to recognize and destroy cancer cells.
  • Monoclonal Antibodies: Synthetic antibodies that target specific cancer-related proteins.

Individualized Treatment Plans

Immunotherapy plans are personalized based on the unique characteristics of the patient’s cancer, ensuring targeted and effective treatment.
Administration of Immunotherapy
  • Infusion Therapy: Immunotherapy drugs are often administered through intravenous (IV) infusions, typically in an outpatient setting.
  • Treatment Cycles: Immunotherapy is generally delivered in cycles, with periodic assessments to evaluate treatment response.

Considerations for Optimal Care

Combination Therapies: Immunotherapy may be combined with other treatment modalities for synergistic effects and enhanced efficacy.

Monitoring Immune Response: Regular assessments, including imaging and laboratory tests, are conducted to monitor the immune system’s response to treatment.

Side Effect Management: Our care team is vigilant in managing potential side effects, ensuring patient comfort and well-being throughout the immunotherapy journey.

Patient Education: We prioritize patient education, providing comprehensive information about immunotherapy, its mechanisms, and potential side effects.

Emotional and Psychological Support: Our Cancer Center offers resources and support services to address the emotional and psychological aspects of the immunotherapy experience.

Nutritional Guidance: Nutritional counseling is integrated into the care plan to support overall well-being during and after immunotherapy.

Regular assessments help gauge the effectiveness of immunotherapy, allowing for adjustments to treatment plans as needed. Our multidisciplinary team collaborates closely to ensure a seamless and integrated approach to immunotherapy and overall cancer care. At Guru Cancer Center, immunotherapy represents a beacon of hope and progress in the fight against cancer.
