What is Immuno Oncology? Immuno Oncology is treatment that recruits and supercharges a person's own immune system components to fight cancer. This can take various forms: the immune system can be stimulated to work harder or smarter in attacking cancer cells, immune system components can be supplied such as man-made immune proteins that attack cancer cells in a targeted way, immune system cells can be "programmed" to only attack very specific cancer cells or even to deliver a "payload" of compounds poisonous to cancer directly and only to the malignant cells.
Immuno Oncology Goes Beyond Drawbacks of Conventional Chemotherapy
Conventional chemotherapy poisons the patient's body with the aim of getting the cancer too. Its like spraying a powerful herbicide on your rose garden to get rid of the dandelions. Yes, the weeds will die but the roses will suffer too.
With Immuno Oncology, the cure is not worse than the disease. Many of the harsh and debilitating side effects of chemotherapy are avoided because the agents that kill the cancer are components of the human immune system itself, rather than poison, and the therapy can be precisely targeted to only attack the cancerous cells. It is truly the next evolutionary leap in cancer treatment.
