Immunotherapy is a cancer treatment that uses powerful medicines to destroy cancer cells or stop their growth. It may be used alone or in combination with surgery, radiation therapy, or other advanced cancer treatments.
Immunotherapy is a widely used cancer treatment that involves the use of anti-cancer drugs to destroy cancer cells, prevent their multiplication, or slow disease progression. It may be administered orally, intravenously, or through other methods depending on the type and stage of cancer.
At Suryoday Cancer Centre, chemotherapy is delivered using evidence-based protocols and personalized treatment plans. Our multidisciplinary oncology team carefully monitors each patient to manage side effects, ensure safety, and improve treatment outcomes while maintaining quality of life.

Preparation before immunotherapy
Before starting immunotherapy, patients undergo a detailed medical evaluation including blood tests, imaging studies, and immune system assessment. The oncology team reviews the patient’s medical history, explains treatment goals, and discusses possible immune-related side effects to ensure informed decision-making.

How Immunotherapy is given
Immunotherapy is usually administered intravenously in planned treatment cycles. The therapy works by activating the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells while minimizing damage to healthy tissues. Treatment is delivered under close medical supervision to ensure safety and effectiveness.

After Immunotherapy care
After immunotherapy, patients are closely monitored for immune-related reactions and treatment response. Regular follow-up visits, supportive medications, and symptom management help ensure treatment safety, recovery, and long-term effectiveness.
Immunotherapy helps the immune system fight cancer more effectively and may provide long-lasting responses in selected cancer types. It can improve survival outcomes and reduce the risk of recurrence when used appropriately.

Immunotherapy may cause immune-related side effects such as fatigue, skin reactions, inflammation, or organ-specific effects. These side effects are usually manageable with early detection and prompt medical care.
Immunotherapy may not be suitable for all patients or cancer types. Treatment effectiveness depends on cancer biology, immune response, and individual patient factors, and results may vary.
