Chemoimmunotherapy represents a powerful and evolving approach in oncology that combines the cytotoxic effects of chemotherapy with the immune-boosting properties of immunotherapy. This synergistic strategy aims to improve treatment response, overcome resistance, and offer durable remission for patients with various types of cancer.
Chemotherapy works by directly killing rapidly dividing cancer cells, while immunotherapy stimulates the body's immune system to recognize and attack tumor cells. When used together, chemotherapy can enhance the efficacy of immunotherapy.
