Immunotherapy is a genuine game changer. For the first time, there’s a treatment for melanoma which can extend or even save lives. Although melanoma comprises of less than 5% of all the skin cancers, it accounts for the vast majority of deaths caused by skin cancer. Melanoma is a cancer which most often arises in the pigment-producing melanocytes found in the skin.
As with all skin cancers, the main risk factor for melanoma is exposure to UV light—both natural and artificial sunlight. According to most Cancer Care Centers, more people develop skin cancer from tanning than develop lung cancer from smoking. Though melanoma is easier to detect in the nascent stage than in many other types of cancer, it is also much more likely to metastasize, or to spread to other organs of the body. For this reason, survival rates for localized (Stage I and II) melanoma and metastasized melanoma vary greatly.
Current protocol for melanoma cancer treatment depends on the prognosis at time of the disease detection. If caught early, the melanoma tumor may be removed during surgery or immunology cancer treatment but if a biopsy shows that the melanoma has spread to the lymph nodes, the treatment strategy includes intensive therapy, targeted therapy, radiation, clinical trials, and immunotherapy.
How immunotherapy works?
The best hospitals for cancer say that drugs approved to treat metastatic melanoma activates the killer T-cells, the white blood cells which are your immune system’s version of soldiers. As the tumours started as normal cells before they turned cancerous, the immune system does not realize that they are the ones causing trouble. If it did, it will take action and stop them. The new drugs help the body spot and fight cancer cells better.
Known as checkpoint inhibitors, they flip molecular switches on the surface of the immune cells and unlock the brakes of the immune system boosting your immune system’s response to cancer cells.
