Immunotherapy Successfully Treats 5 Types of Brain Cancer

A new study at Stanford School of Medicine shows that immunotherapy can successfully treat 5 major types pediatric Brain Cancer. Immune cell antibodies of patients were clinically engineered to kill cancer tumor without affecting healthy brain cells present in the body.

So, is it safe to say immunotherapy is the best brain cancer treatment?

Let’s find out by knowing details about brain cancer and immunotherapy:

Brain Cancer
There are two types of Brain cancer: low grade and high grade.

Symptoms: For correct diagnosis, screening tests are essential to detect brain cancer, but following symptoms gives an idea about the existence of the disease: 
  • Blurred Vision
  • Frequent Headaches (Unbearable)
  • Frequent Seizures, Inability to Balance Body
  • Muscular weakness, especially in arms and legs
  • Inability to concentrate
  • Insomnia
  • Feeling of Nausea, needle injection sensation in Stomach

Treatments
Treatments are recommended after a detailed diagnosis, after knowing the stage and size of cancer.
Following are the treatment options for Brain Cancer:

Radiation Therapy
High energy radiations are used to destroy tumor present in brain cells. External Beam radiation therapy is commonly used for early stages of brain cancer.

Chemotherapy: Systematic chemotherapy uses specific drugs to kill tumor cells present in the brain. The aim of chemotherapy may differ from patient to patient; to completely destroy cancer or slow down its growth.

Targeted Therapies: Special genes, are used to target the tumor cells, by limiting the damage to healthy brain cells in targeted therapies.

Immunotherapy: A new discovery in Brain Cancer Treatment

Not just at Stanford, but immunotherapy has brought remissions (recoveries) for patients all around the world. There have been innumerable clinical trials that proves that targeting antibodies for treating cancer is the best way to treat brain cancer, with zero side effects. The CD-47 antibodies have been specifically touted as very active in producing an effective cancer response in Brain cells.

In India, Cancer Healer Center is leading provider of immunotherapy brain cancer treatment. They have expert doctors who have successfully recovered patients from cancer using oral immunotherapy.

Due to its risk-free nature, immunotherapy has become the more preferred cancer treatment. After all, who doesn’t wish for a post-treatment healthy life? Especially, after Cancer.
