Immunotherapy and you, the hope against breast cancer
Although the role of our defenses against cancer has been known since the late 19th century, it has been in the last five years that immunotherapy has established itself as the new great hope against cancer.
In 2020, more than 34,000 cases of breast cancer were diagnosed in Spain (34% of cases of cancer in women).
Immunotherapy is a type of treatment that takes advantage of the potential of the patient's immune system to fight their own disease. Current knowledge in biology and genetics, as well as modern technologies in research, open the possibility of programming this defense system to act against those cells that develop abnormally, as in breast cancer.
Immunotherapy is becoming a revolutionary treatment as it has fewer side effects and is showing effectiveness where other therapies have failed.
Immunotherapy has made it possible for the survival rate to increase year after year. The most important advance is that immunotherapy is working in some types of cancer, but we need more research to be able to expand the number of patients who can benefit, such as women with breast cancer.
