Immunotherapy has emerged as a powerful weapon in the fight against cancer, revolutionizing the way we approach treatment. Unlike traditional methods like chemotherapy and radiation, which directly target cancer cells, immunotherapy harnesses the body's immune system to recognize and attack tumors.
When it comes to seeking the best immunotherapy treatment in Delhi, one cannot overlook the renowned LYFE Medicare Cancer Centre. The centre is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and a team of experienced oncologists.
Here are some types of immunotherapy:
Immune checkpoint inhibitors: Immune checkpoint inhibitors help the immune system fight cancer by blocking certain proteins.
Adoptive Cell Therapy (ACT): ACT uses the patient’s own T cells. One type, called CAR T-cell therapy, changes T cells to attack cancer proteins.
CAR T-cell therapy: CAR T-cell therapy changes a patient’s T cells to fight cancer cells. This personalized treatment works well for blood cancers like leukemia.
Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocyte (TIL): TIL therapy uses the body's immune cells to fight cancer by growing T cells in a lab and reintroducing them.
Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs): Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are made in a lab to act like the immune system and target specific cancer proteins.
The cost of immunotherapy in Delhi can vary based on the type of treatment, drugs used, and cancer type. Contact our help center for more information.
Immunotherapy works by boosting the body's natural defenses to target cancer cells, while other treatments like chemotherapy and radiation focus on killing cancer cells directly.

The duration of an immunotherapy session can vary, but generally ranges from a few hours to a full day.
