Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Peng Xiaodong
Administering interleukin is an important approach in treating kidney cancer. Clinically, kidney cancer has long been regarded as a tumor responsive to immunotherapy, hence interleukin injection is necessary in its treatment. Additionally, treatment may also include interferon. Interleukin administration can promote and regulate the immune function of lymphocytes, exert inhibitory effects on cancer cells, enhance the responsiveness of lymphocytes, and thereby achieve anti-tumor effects.
