Dr. Cai Yi
Immunotherapy for lung adenocarcinoma, the result of over 20 years of research and development, has recently gained increasing attention from scientists and physicians due to its significant role in treating this disease.
Lung adenocarcinoma immunotherapy works by administering genetically engineered antigen tumor vaccines to induce the body's immune system to generate an anti-tumor immune response. This approach effectively blocks further proliferation and metastasis of tumor cells by activating the body’s own immune defenses, thereby suppressing and destroying cancer cells.
Current studies indicate that immunotherapy for lung adenocarcinoma has positive effects on improving patients' quality of life and extending survival. For example, results from a clinical study show that lung adenocarcinoma patients receiving immunotherapy experience prolonged survival periods, along with enhanced immune function and disease resistance.
Therefore, for patients with lung adenocarcinoma, immunotherapy represents an effective treatment option that helps improve quality of life and extend survival.
