When facing a cancer diagnosis, the word “Chemotherapy” is often the first thing patients think of. However, as oncologists in Nairobi, we are increasingly turning toward a more precise ally: Immunotherapy.
Understanding Your Options (Patient Education)
Understanding Your Options
While chemotherapy works by attacking rapidly dividing cells, Immunotherapy is designed to “train” your own immune system to recognize and destroy cancer cells specifically.
-
The Benefit: It is often more targeted, potentially leading to fewer systemic side effects and better long-term outcomes for specific cancer types.
-
The Precision: Through advanced testing at Shabaha Cancer Centre, we identify biomarkers to see if your body is a candidate for this biological breakthrough.
Understanding your treatment options is the first step toward healing. If you are seeking a second opinion on whether Targeted Therapy or Immunotherapy is right for you, we are here to navigate those choices together.
