Until recently, the most common treatments in the treatment of malignant diseases were surgery, hemotherapy and radiotherapy. However, very often during the use of hemotherapy as a choice for treatment we witness unwanted secondary effects at the level of healthy cells or with the appearance of resistance to hemotherapy. With this in mind, Dr. Slavica Kraleva, an oncologist, explains that recent research is aimed at finding more specific methods that will be effective without causing damage to healthy cells. For this reason, immunotherapy is a specific method in the treatment of malignant diseases that can respond to these requirements.
HOW IS OUR ORGANISM PROTECTED? The immune system has a role in the protection of our organism, while it consists of organs, tissues, specific cells and substances that together act to protect the body from infections and diseases caused by bacteria, viruses and abnormal cells that cause malignant diseases. Malignant cells have molecules on their surface called antigens that trigger the immune system to Seychelles Email List recognize and destroy them. But not always our immune system is able to recognize malignant cells because many of them have the ability to hide using the ability to resemble normal cells. Immunotherapy strengthens the immune system and enables its greater efficiency in recognizing and destroying malignant cells.
As immunotherapy, substances are used that are created naturally in our body or produced in the laboratory and have the purpose of: Slow down or stop the growth of malignant cells Stop the spread of malignant cells to other parts of the body Help the immune system to be more efficient in destroying malignant cells To help in the efficiency of radiotherapy and chemotherapy in the treatment of malignant diseases EFFICACY OF IMMUNOTHERAPY The current problem during the use of immunotherapy in patients with malignant diseases is that even due to the achievement of spectacular results, the unanswered question remains why in some patients the expected response is not achieved. Depending on the type of carcinoma, the expected response is not achieved in 50-80 percent of patients.
