Non-specific immunotherapy
Non-specific immunotherapy works best in combination with other cancer treatments or after a surgery to destroy cancer cells. The most common forms of non-specific immunotherapy includes:
- Interleukins:
Interleukins or IL-2 aid in the growth and division of immune system cells more rapidly. IL-2 helps in treating advanced metastatic melanoma and kidney cancer. You can use IL-2 as a single treatment or combine it with other cytokines to get more effective results.
- Interferons:
Interferons are proteins that help the immune system to signal the body about the presence of a pathogen. Interferons also slow down the growth of cancer cells and the most common ones are Alferon (2a), Intron A(2b), and Roferon A (2a).
