Immunotherapy
Harnessing the immune system to treat cancer.
Overview
Immunotherapy helps the body's own immune system recognise and fight cancer. Dr. Sirohi incorporates evidence-based immunotherapy into treatment where appropriate for the tumour type and molecular profile.
What it is
Immunotherapy is a class of treatments (such as immune checkpoint inhibitors) that stimulate the immune system against cancer.
Diagnosis
Suitability is guided by tumour type and biomarkers (e.g. PD-L1, MSI/MMR status).
Treatment Approaches
Immunotherapy may be used alone or combined with chemotherapy or targeted therapy, with careful monitoring for immune-related side effects.
When to Seek Specialist Advice
Ask your oncologist whether immunotherapy is suitable for your specific cancer type.
