Immunotherapy

Immunotherapy is a type of medical treatment designed to stimulate or restore the body’s immune system to help fight diseases, particularly cancer, allergies, and autoimmune conditions. By enhancing the immune system’s ability to recognize and attack harmful cells or substances, immunotherapy can be an effective treatment option for various conditions. At Revere Health, we offer personalized immunotherapy treatments to help patients manage and combat diseases by boosting their natural defenses.

How Immunotherapy Works
Stimulating the Immune System: Immunotherapy enhances the immune system’s ability to identify and attack abnormal cells, such as cancer cells, or foreign substances like allergens.
Restoring Immune Function: In cases where the immune system is compromised, immunotherapy works to restore its proper function, helping the body better defend against disease.
Targeting Specific Cells: Certain immunotherapies are designed to target specific cells, proteins, or receptors involved in disease processes.

Types of Immunotherapy
Cancer Immunotherapy: Treatments that help the immune system attack cancer cells, such as immune checkpoint inhibitors, CAR T-cell therapy, and cancer vaccines.
Allergy Immunotherapy: Also known as desensitization therapy, this treatment gradually exposes patients to small amounts of allergens to build up tolerance and reduce allergic reactions. Common forms include allergy shots and sublingual tablets.
Monoclonal Antibodies: These lab-produced molecules mimic the immune system’s ability to fight off harmful cells, used to treat conditions like cancer and autoimmune diseases.
Cytokine Therapy: This therapy uses proteins called cytokines to boost the immune system’s response to disease.
Immune Modulators: These therapies enhance or suppress immune activity to treat conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and multiple sclerosis.

Conditions Treated with Immunotherapy
Cancer: Immunotherapy can be used to treat cancers like melanoma, lung cancer, and lymphoma by enhancing the immune system’s ability to target cancer cells.
Allergies: Allergy immunotherapy helps reduce symptoms of allergic rhinitis, asthma, and insect allergies.
Autoimmune Diseases: Conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and lupus can benefit from immunotherapy treatments that suppress overactive immune responses.

Benefits of Immunotherapy
Targeted Treatment: Immunotherapy is designed to target specific aspects of the immune system, often resulting in fewer side effects compared to traditional treatments like chemotherapy or radiation.
Long-Term Protection: For certain diseases, immunotherapy can provide lasting immunity or tolerance, reducing the need for continuous treatment.
Combination Therapy: Immunotherapy can be used alongside other treatments like surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation to improve outcomes.
