Has anyone heard or and/or researched Intratumoral Immunotherapy for prostate cancer? Here's a brief description of what it is:
"This treatment involves directly injecting immune-stimulating agents into the tumor, enhancing the body's immune response against cancer cells. This localized treatment activates immune cells within the tumor microenvironment, promoting the recognition and destruction of cancer cells by the immune system." (From ChatGPT)
From what I understand, multiple types of immunotherapy agents are injected directly since each person's body responds to these agents differently. Also, from what I understand, the goal isn't for the agents injected to completely kill all the cancer since it's inducing the body to learn how to identify the cancer so the body's immune response will kill it, and not just locally, but throughout the entire body. It's like a vaccine in some ways.
Any thoughts?
