Immunotherapy could become first choice in cancer treatment

Immunotherapy could become the first-line treatment for cancer, according to a report by Knack. The method, which activates the immune system to combat tumors, has proven increasingly effective according to experts.

Where cancer treatments previously focused mainly on surgery, radiation and chemotherapy, there is growing belief that immunotherapy can play a major role as a first treatment option. According to the source, this is due to the positive results in clinical trials.

However, caution is still advised, as the effects of immunotherapy can vary from patient to patient. Some types of cancer respond better to the treatment than others, Knack reports. Further research is therefore essential to optimize the application.
