What's the difference between biotherapy and traditional cancer treatment?

At present, surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and tumor biotherapy are the most commonly selected treatment methods for tumor treatment.

The first three are familiar to everyone. They are commonly used methods to treat cancer in the past, and their clinical effects can not be ignored. However, it also has many shortcomings, which can not completely eliminate cancer cells, and the curative effect on prolonging the survival of patients is not very ideal. Therefore, we need to find a better way, so biotherapy came into being.

1, surgical treatment: this method is mainly aimed at the treatment of local cancer in early patients. If it is in the middle and late stage, it can't meet the treatment needs. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out corresponding examination before treatment and choose the most appropriate method according to the doctor's advice.

2. Radiotherapy: This method can minimize the tumor before operation and eliminate the residual cancer cells after operation to achieve the best therapeutic effect.

At the same time, if the size, nature, growth position or other factors of the patient's tumor are not suitable for resection, this method is the best choice to replace surgery.

3. Chemotherapy: It is also a method to treat cancer, mainly to reduce the size of tumor in combination with radiotherapy, or to remove residual cancer cells after surgery. It is also the best combined treatment method, which can better ensure the therapeutic effect. Interventional therapy and injection therapy are also a kind of chemotherapy.

4. Biotherapy: At present, surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy and tumor biotherapy are effective methods to treat cancer. Tumor biotherapy is a new treatment method, which will not bring pain to patients and has no toxic side effects. It can also improve the immunity of patients and inhibit the growth of tumors, and is suitable for patients with various stages of tumors.

Tumor biotherapy is the fourth biotherapy for cancer after surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. It uses DC/CIK immune cells. The specific treatment method is to obtain immune cells in the human body by drawing blood, cultivate and breed "massive" immune cells that can identify and attack cancer cells in the laboratory, and return them to patients, so that the immune cells can devour cancer cells, thus effectively reducing cancer cells and even curing cancer.

Experts said: Clinically, tumor biotherapy can overcome the shortcomings of "incompleteness, easy metastasis and great side effects" of three traditional treatment methods: surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The three-to-five-year survival rate of some patients can be nearly doubled, which is internationally recognized as the fourth promising new tumor treatment technology to eliminate cancer cells.

Compared with traditional treatment, tumor biotherapy has six advantages:

First of all, postoperative treatment consolidates the curative effect. Autologous cell immunotherapy can quickly recover the immune damage caused by surgery, improve the body's immunity, improve the success rate of surgery, quickly remove tiny residual tumor cells after surgery, and prevent tumor recurrence and metastasis.

Second, reduce the side effects of radiotherapy. Using autologous immune cells in radiotherapy can improve the effect of radiotherapy, reduce the side effects of radiotherapy, relieve the related symptoms of the body, improve the quality of life of patients and promote the reconstruction of immune function of the body.

Third, strengthen the effect of chemotherapy. Autoimmune cell therapy in chemotherapy can enhance the sensitivity of the body to chemotherapy drugs, improve the chemotherapy effect, obviously improve the side effects caused by chemotherapy drugs, and effectively improve the immune function of patients.

Fourth, improve the quality of life of patients and prolong their survival time. Autoimmune cell therapy technology has established a strong immune protection network for patients, greatly reducing the damage caused by various conventional treatments, effectively resisting the growth and spread of cancer cells, and making it possible for patients to survive with tumors.

Fifth, tumor prevention. Autoimmune cell therapy can directly kill cancer cells, control the growth of tumors, and have a good effect on preventing tumors.

Sixth, safety. Autoimmune cell therapy is to use the patient's own cells to culture in vitro and then input them into the patient's own body, so it will not cause immune rejection and has no side effects.

Tumor biotherapy and traditional treatment traditional treatment methods are powerless to tumor cells that may have metastasized. No matter how successful the operation is, many tumor cells may still be left behind. Even with radiotherapy and chemotherapy, it is not perfect, because radiotherapy and chemotherapy are not targeted. While killing tumor cells, many normal cells and immune system are also destroyed, which leads to intolerance of patients and further reduction of immunity.

Due to the strong side effects of radiotherapy, it is impossible to increase the intensity of treatment indefinitely, thus leaving a considerable number of tumor cells that cannot be eliminated. The combination of tumor biotherapy and radiotherapy overcomes the strong side effects of radiotherapy. At present, biotherapy has been recognized by many experts and patients, and continues to occupy the field of tumor treatment.
