Research to elucidate ways in which a patient’s immune system can be harnessed to inhibit tumour growth is the most common topic of research. Below are few things that will help you know more about Immunotherapy for cancer- a therapy that uses body’s immune system to fight cancer. In 2013 Science Magazine labelled cancer immunotherapy as the “breakthrough treatment of the year”
What Is Immunotherapy for Cancer?
It deals with ways in which host’s immune system can be used to fight cancers.
This can be done either by stimulating a person’s own immune system to attack cells or,
Administering man-made, immune-system proteins to combat the disease.
Immunotherapy has a long-lasting effect, because the technology involves training the immune system to defend itself against cancer cells. Once trained, the body automatically remembers what a Cancer cell looks like and how best to tackle it.
Is Immunotherapy a Permanent Solution?
Immunotherapy is a promising field that has shown high successes rate against deadly cancers. It is seen as a very hopeful alternative with a “low side-effect(less serious ones)” solution to cancer.
Difference between Immunotherapy, chemotherapy and radiotherapy
Radiotherapy and chemotherapy are few of the most famous and traditional therapies to treat cancer. However Chemotherapy along with cancer cells also kills normal cells thereby making the body weak. And Radiotherapy uses x-rays, gamma rays etc. to shrink tumours and destroy cancer cells which results in the damage of their genetic structure. On the other hand, Immunotherapy for cancer fights cancer by training the immune system and does not result in damage of normal cells or genetic structure.
How Immunotherapy works?

Make it easier for your immune system to destroy cancer cells.
Keep cancer from spreading to other parts of your body.
Just like other types of cancer treatments, immunotherapy has its own minor side effect like:
Rashes or swelling at treatment spot.
Symptoms such as fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, fatigue, bone pain, and
Lowered blood pressure (blood pressure goes down).
Where does one go to get treatment?

Others are given through an IV, and one must go to the hospital or clinic to get them like Cancer Healer Center, India.
