Immunotherapy is a cancer treatment that relies on the patient's own immune system to combat the disease. Immunotherapy can help the immune system discover and fight cancer cells by boosting or changing how it works.
Immunotherapy works in the following ways:
Immunotherapy has been a significant aspect of the treatment of several cancers in recent decades. New immunotherapy treatments are being studied and authorized at a rapid rate, as are new techniques of dealing with the immune system.
Some forms of cancer respond better to immunotherapy than others. For some malignancies, it's used alone, but for others, it appears to function better when combined with other treatments.
There are a few different types of immunotherapy that can be used to treat cancer. Few of them are listed below:
Many factors will influence the type of medicine, dose, and treatment schedule. These factors can include the cancer's type, size, location, and extent of dissemination. Your age, overall health, body weight, and ability to deal with side effects are all factors to consider. Ask your doctor why he or she recommends a particular immunotherapy regimen.
Immunotherapy is a type of biologic therapy. Immunotherapy is approved to treat certain kinds of cancer, including melanoma, lymphoma, and lung cancer.
We at IndiCure completely understand your concerns and it is always our endeavor to provide the best outcome for every patient. Following is the list of questions you must ask before you embark on your journey for immunotherapy in India.
Prepare to answer questions about your:
Different forms of immunotherapy may be given in different ways. These include:
Immunotherapy medications are more effective in some cancers than others, and while they might be a lifesaver for some patients, they do not work for everyone.
Immunotherapy, unlike chemotherapy, does not always result in tumor shrinkage. Even when patients are in good spirits, tumors can bulge or grow in size when immune cells battle the cancer. Pseudoprogression is the term for this phenomenon. The word refers to a tumor that looks to be worsening yet is nevertheless providing benefit to patients.
To track your treatment response, you'll need to see your doctor frequently. Physical exams, blood tests, and imaging scans may be required on a regular basis.
Your immune system consists of organs, antibodies (proteins), and immune cells that work together to fight disease and infection. Immune cells include the following:
Immunotherapy treats different types of cancers , including but not limited to
Immunotherapy can be given on a daily, weekly, monthly, or cyclical basis. After cyclic immunotherapy, you must rest for a period of time. The break allows your body to regenerate healthy cells. The duration of treatment is determined by the following factors:
Immunotherapy side effects vary based on the type of medicine used and the type of cancer being treated. You might suffer from the following side effects:
Individual characteristics, such as the type of cancer and its stage influence the success rates of any cancer treatment, including immunotherapy.
Immunotherapy is generally successful against a wide range of cancers. While some malignancies are more immunogenic than others, immunotherapy is successful in the treatment of a wide range of cancers in general. Immunotherapy, unlike chemotherapy or radiation, can induce long-lasting responses, but only around a quarter of patients experience them.
According to certain studies, the immune system may recall cancer cells even after treatment has ended.
Cancer immunotherapy holds the promise of long-term cancer control.
Immunotherapy can help the immune system recall cancer cells by "training" it to do so. This "immune memory" could lead to longer-lasting and possibly permanent protection from cancer recurrence.
Long-term overall survival studies have revealed that the positive effects of cancer immunotherapy treatment can be long-lasting—that is, they can last even after treatment is finished.
Dr. William B. Coley (1862-1936), a cancer surgeon, pioneered cancer immunotherapy in the late 1890s. Infecting cancer patients with certain bacteria resulted in tumor reduction and even total remission in some cases, he discovered. Since Coley's time, advances in cancer immunology have revealed that his bacterial toxin therapy boosted patients' immune systems to attack tumors in those who responded to his treatment.
Despite the fact that Coley's theory was mostly ignored during his lifetime, his daughter, Helen Coley Nauts, unearthed his old notebooks and formed the Cancer Study Institute in 1953 to fund research into his theory. The FDA approved the first cancer immunotherapy in 1990, Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG), a bacteria-based tuberculosis vaccine that was found to be helpful for individuals with bladder cancer.
Chemotherapy is a direct attack on cancer cells that divide quickly, but it can also harm other fast dividing cells, such as normal cells. When patients respond positively, the treatment's effects are felt right away. Chemotherapy's immediate effects, on the other hand, only endure as long as the treatment is continued.
Immunotherapy works by stimulating the immune system to produce a stronger response or by teaching the immune system to recognise and eliminate cancer cells. Immunotherapy may take longer to work, but once it does, the effects might last for a long period.
People with HIV who are getting efficient antiretroviral medication and whose immune systems are functioning normally may respond to cancer immunotherapy, making them eligible for immunotherapy as standard of care or as part of a clinical study.
Immunotherapy treatments may take longer than typical treatments to yield detectable signs of tumor reduction. On scans, tumors may appear to increase before shrinking, although this swelling could be the result of immune cells entering and combating the cancer. Many people who suffer pseudoprogression report feeling better in general.
Immune-related adverse effects may be associated with treatment efficacy in some cancer types—specifically, melanoma patients who develop vitiligo (blotched loss of skin color)—but for the vast majority of patients, no definite link between side effects and immunotherapy effectiveness has been identified.
Having been home a few days now I can get my thoughts together and give my heartfelt thanks for the support and encouragement I got from IndiCure. Obviously, there was a certain amount of trepidation going to what has a reputation of being a third world country for a major operation like knee replacement, having received the type of treatment which I would think only the Royal family would receive in this country I wonder which is the third world country. From the organization arranged by your good self to absolutely first-class attention at the hospital and the service of doctors and his wonderful team all of whom spoke English, the nursing was one to one and my well-being was their only concern.
The operation has been a complete success. I am so happy with the results. The friendliness from everyone from consultant to ancillary workers was amazing.
Thank you,

My Knee joint replacement surgery in India has given me a second chance to live life independently and on my own terms. I had become completely dependent and bed ridden because of the extreme pain and found it even difficult to go to the wash room.
IndiCure has really helped me in this journey and I am very thankful to them. The surgeon and nursing staff especially were very nice. Good work done.

Both of us were very pleased with the professional care provided to us from the first email to enquiry to the moment we stepped foot in India. We have never received such wonderful hospitality and always attending to our needs. We would both certainly recommend Indicure for any treatments and/or surgeries. We have been utterly amazed at what India has to offer and will definitely visit again.

My son had the gastric sleeve in Delhi last September 2017. A year later my son is a different young man. Our reason for traveling from Australia, was his age being 14. You saved my sons life and I will be forever grateful for that, the care and service was immaculate. yes it can be a culture shock, in your another country. But it not any less of what we would have received here.
Thank you

Dr. Ruchika in India delivered efficient and professional service from the outset, matching up my weight and health concerns with the most amazing surgeon at the Apollo Spectra hospital in New Delhi, who made good all the promises that had been made, and MORE. All arrangements were executed seamlessly. Very glad I found them and will certainly be using them again, should the need arise.

The IndiCure folks (Jagruti) hooked me up with THE BEST doctors for my heart issues. Period. The Physicians were thorough, professional, fast, proficient and affordable. Dealing with Indicure was super easy, super fast and a very pleasant experience. I HIGHLY recommend this process for those with no insurance or those who cannot afford the 20% co-pay for expensive procedures. Check the cost against prices in the USA folks.
