Immunotherapy is a breakthrough treatment that empowers the body’s immune system to recognize and attack prostate cancer cells. At KIMS Renal Sciences, we offer advanced immunotherapy options as part of our personalized prostate cancer treatment programs, especially for patients with advanced or treatment-resistant forms of the disease.
Unlike conventional treatments that target the tumor directly, immunotherapy helps stimulate the body’s natural defenses to fight cancer more effectively. One of the most common types used in prostate cancer is a cancer vaccine called Sipuleucel-T, which is designed specifically for each patient and has shown effectiveness in slowing disease progression in certain cases.
Immunotherapy may also include immune checkpoint inhibitors, which help the immune system recognize and destroy cancer cells that have previously gone undetected. While still under clinical investigation for broader use in prostate cancer, these therapies offer new hope, especially when combined with hormone therapy or chemotherapy.
