Immune-stimulating Drugs Help Your Body Fight The Cancer - Immunotherapy
At the Los Angeles Skin Cancer Institute, our doctors are at the forefront of medical research and innovation, offering patients opportunities to participate in clinical drug trials for innovative drug treatments. One of the innovative treatments we are exploring is Immunotherapy.
For example, Beverly Hills Cancer Center is a primary researcher for the drug Ipilimumab, which encourages growth and replication of the body's immune-system cells. These cells attack the growing cancer tumors and keep the cancer from spreading, resulting in greater survival rates for 1 in 5 patients.
