Are There Ways to Mitigate Immunosuppression in Cancer Patients?
There are strategies to mitigate immunosuppression in cancer patients. The use of growth factors like G-CSF (granulocyte colony-stimulating factor) can help boost white blood cell counts. Prophylactic antibiotics and antivirals can prevent infections. Immune checkpoint inhibitors, such as PD-1 inhibitors and CTLA-4 inhibitors, can also be employed to enhance the body's immune response against cancer cells. Additionally, lifestyle modifications and nutritional support can help bolster the immune system.
