The word ‘cancer’ sends ripples of fear and confusion among the patients. As if the suffering is not enough, the treatment makes things much harder on the victim and everyone around. But, modern medicine has put an end to this misery by introducing Immuno-Oncology (IO) that has redefined the way cancer can be treated.
How IO works?
IO is a futuristic cancer treatment that works by enhancing the natural ability of the immune system to detect and eliminate cancer cells that have spread to other organs.
“Immuno-Oncology is an advanced technique that enables the body’s defense mechanism to find and fight mutating cancer cells that have earlier (removed) evaded the body’s immune system.”

The key to fighting every disease lies in the immune system which is equipped with several types of specialised cells that are capable of fighting different types of pathogens. The problem occurs when our defense mechanism is overpowered by the disease forces. The Cancer Healer Therapy helps the immune system regain its lost vigour and strength and overcome any abnormal process in the body.
How IO is different from traditional cancer treatments?
Immunotherapy differs from traditional cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy, in terms of its mechanism, response time duration of relief. While IO works with the immune system alone, other treatments like chemotherapy or radiation targets and kills all rapidly multiplying cells, including cancer and certain surrounding healthy cells. Immunotherapy provides lasting protection against cancer and lowers the risk of relapse.
Things to consider when getting Immunotherapy:-
- IO therapies don't result in hair loss or any other side effects because it does not affect the healthy cells in any way. Immunotherapy can be given to patients of all ages. The treatment is customized as per stage and spread & extent of the disease.
- The doctors at the cancer hospital in Kolkata can determine which patients are likely to respond to treatment by considering the patient’s lifestyle, environment, treatment history, and the genetic history of the patient’s.
Immuno-Oncology - The future of cancer treatment is here
IO therapies have been proved efficacious for use at earlier as well as advanced stages in the patient’s cancer treatment. The patients should talk about IO options with their doctors as early as possible.
“Cancer treatment is no longer limited to painful and expensive chemotherapy. The latest advancements in modern(remove) medicine present an affordable and safer alternative for cancer treatment in the form of IO.”
