Monitoring the immune system is crucial for several reasons:
Detection of Immune Suppression: Cancer and its treatments can suppress the immune system, making patients more susceptible to infections and reducing the effectiveness of immune-based therapies. Evaluation of Treatment Efficacy: Immune system monitoring helps assess how well treatments, such as immunotherapy, are working by observing changes in immune cell populations and activity. Early Detection of Relapse: Changes in immune markers can indicate a potential relapse before it is clinically evident, allowing for earlier intervention.
