Does he then do

immunotherapy

Autoimmunity and psychotic disorders
For most with autoimmune thyroid issues, the treatment entirely ignores autoimmunity and solely focuses on hormone levels.

Hello everyone .
Hi all , hope you all managed a reasonable Christmas despite various treatments etc ongoing … I’m interested to hear from anyone who had chemo / radiation treatment for lung cancer stage 3 and didn’t follow up with
immunotherapy
either because it wasn’t an option or because they chose not to or other

Would you be interested in new support if you have a mutation driven lung cancer, or have surgery as a treatment?
if you are interested in either of these two topics, if you would like to be part of a programme for those on
immunotherapy
or another treatment, or are caring for someone please do get in touch.

BAT in Argentina
Among the advantages of using BAT, is the good tolerance to treatment, and this makes its combination with different agents such as new hormonal agents or
immunotherapy
feasible.

Hello there - any advice about Chemo (Carboplatin and Pemetrexed) and Immunotherapy (Pembrolizomab)?
Hi, so I was diagnosed just before Christmas (Is cancer the Christmas Grinch? 🤔 It was in my case....) Anyway, having been diagnosed with NSCL cancer I've now been put on a treatment plan, and start on Monday next week. Has anyone got any top tips for getting through the next few months? It all sounds

Abscopal cryo-immunotherapy trial
As the cells in the tumor die they release antigens that the immune system, with the assistance of
immunotherapy
drugs, can recognize. the immune system then can mount a response to the cancer wherever it is in the body. It's a trial for all types of solid tumors, including prostate.
