Treatments For Large Cell Carcinoma

Immunotherapy

Immunotherapy is an option for large cell carcinoma that fights cancer by using the patient’s immune system. This may be accomplished by attacking the cells via stimulating the patient’s immune system or by providing the patient’s immune system with certain proteins and other components. There are four primary types of this therapy being used for cancer regularly. Immune checkpoint inhibitors essentially stop the body from keeping the immune system in check, so it has free rein to kill cancer cells. Non-specific immunotherapies provide a general boost to the immune system so it has the strength it requires to attack cancer cells. Monoclonal antibodies are a type of man-made immune system protein. These are made in a way that allows them to precisely focus and only attack a particular cancer cell component. Cancer vaccines are also classified as this type of therapy. They are typically used as a preventative measure, but in some cases, they may also be used as part of a treatment regimen.
