Can Immunotherapy Help Counteract Immune Suppression?
Immunotherapy has emerged as a promising approach to counteract immune suppression in cancer patients. This treatment aims to boost the body's natural defenses by enhancing the activity of immune cells. Checkpoint inhibitors, for example, block the inhibitory signals that cancer cells use to evade the immune system. Other forms of immunotherapy, such as CAR-T cell therapy and cancer vaccines, are designed to activate and direct immune cells specifically against cancer cells.
