The Role of Immunotherapy in Lung Cancer Surgery
Benefits of Immunotherapy for Lung Cancer Patients
Recent studies indicate that cancer immunotherapy, particularly in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), enhances surgical outcomes when administered both before and after surgery. While the standard approach has focused on pre-surgical treatment, these findings are prompting a reevaluation of chemotherapy protocols.
Immunotherapy: A New Frontier in Cancer Treatment
This innovative treatment leverages the body’s own immune cells to target and eliminate cancer cells effectively, demonstrating significant efficacy in improving survival rates. Additionally, post-surgical immunotherapy plays a crucial role in preventing recurrence.
- Enhanced Recovery: Immunotherapy before and after surgery is associated with superior recovery profiles.
- Chemo Alternative: Many patients can reduce the reliance on traditional chemotherapy.
These findings underline the transformative potential of integrating immunotherapy into standard treatment protocols for lung cancer.
