New immunotherapy drugs, which work by stimulating the body's own immune system to attack cancer cells, described by many as the greatest thing that has happened in the cancer field in the past decade. Yet no treatment without side effects, and as the use of new drugs increases so does also reports of serious side effects.
Immunotherapy is described as the future treatment of cancer. The gentle treatment is based on the body's own immune system to fight cancer. In Norway, immunotherapy treatment using the medicines Nivolumab and Pembrolizumab is approved for use in patients with melanoma.
Immunotherapy within oncology is based on the use of soluble or cell-bound components of the immune system to treat cancer. In Norway, today, different forms of immunotherapy are used to treat: Leukemia (blood cancer), lymphoma, moles, non-small cell lung cancer and kidney cancer.
