"Immunotherapy"

In the last decade, the introduction of several immune checkpoint inhibitors such as CTLA-4/PD-1/PD-L1 and other immune drugs such as Keytruda and Opdivo have marked a major advance in cancer treatment by "liberating" immune T cells and giving them back their ability to attack cancer cells. However, previous data shows that only 10-30% of patients have a good outcome with these immunotherapies

The Mediterranean diet contains mono and polyunsaturated fats from olive oil nuts and fish, polyphenols and fibers from vegetables, fruits and whole grains, which are closely related to the better efficacy of immunotherapeutic drugs called immunocheckpoint inhibitors (ICI).

Immunotherapy has been a very important treatment in recent years, with many patients in lung cancer, malignant melanoma and many other cancers experiencing dramatic improvements in prognosis with this cutting-edge therapy. In pancreatic cancer, however, progress in immunotherapy has been very slow and its effectiveness has been extremely limited.

Recent findings show that the use of cutting-edge immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy (referred to as immunotherapy in this article) has increased rapidly over the past decade in the population of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but the survival benefit is more pronounced in younger people than in older people, who have limited survival benefit with this therapy.

Stomach cancer can cause abnormal symptoms in the digestive system, even vomiting blood and black stools, so it should be treated promptly after having stomach cancer

A new study shows that for a common type of skin cancer, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, immunotherapy before surgery resulted in the complete disappearance of tumours in 50.6% of patients and more than 90% in 12.7% of patients.
