How Immunotherapy Works for Pancreatic Cancer
Pancreatic cancer is often aggressive and resistant to traditional treatments. Immunotherapy offers a novel approach by harnessing the power of the body’s own immune system to recognize, target, and destroy cancer cells. Unlike chemotherapy or radiation, which directly attack tumors, immunotherapy strengthens the immune system’s ability to detect abnormal cells, stop tumor growth, and reduce recurrence.
The main types of immunotherapy for pancreatic cancer include:
- Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors: These drugs block proteins that prevent immune cells from attacking cancer, effectively “releasing the brakes” on the immune system.
- Therapeutic Cancer Vaccines: Personalized vaccines train the immune system to recognize pancreatic cancer cells and mount a targeted attack.
- Biologic Therapies: These treatments use engineered molecules or antibodies to enhance the immune response against tumor cells.
- Combination Therapies: Immunotherapy can be combined with chemotherapy, radiation, or targeted therapy to improve outcomes in selected patients.
