Reseda Seniors: Advanced Immunotherapy for Adrenal Cancer Patients
Reseda’s supportive neighborhoods and senior services are a great foundation for those facing cancer. Immunotherapy for adrenal cancer patients is offering Reseda seniors new options when traditional treatments haven’t worked. This guide explains what immunotherapy is, how it works, and where to find help locally.
What Is Immunotherapy?
Immunotherapy boosts your body’s natural ability to fight adrenal cancer. By helping your immune system “see” cancer more clearly, it reduces harm to healthy tissue and can be easier for seniors to tolerate.
Types of Immunotherapy
- Checkpoint Inhibitors: Unleash immune cells to attack cancer.
- Monoclonal Antibodies: Target adrenal cancer cells for immune attack.
- Cancer Vaccines: Train your immune system to find and destroy adrenal cancer cells.
Why Immunotherapy Works for Reseda Seniors
- Gentle on Seniors: Often causes fewer side effects than chemo or radiation.
- Durable Results: Can control adrenal cancer for extended periods in some patients.
- More Options for Advanced Disease: Especially useful when standard therapies fail.
