How does Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors work?

They block proteins (checkpoints) like PD-1, PD-L1, and CTLA-4 that cancer cells use to evade the immune system, allowing immune cells to attack.

Target Cancers

  • Melanoma, lung, kidney, bladder, head, and neck cancers, among others.

Chemotherapy vs. Inhibitors

  • Unlike chemotherapy, they boost the immune system rather than directly killing cancer cells.

Benefits

Personalized: Long-lasting remission for some patients.

Effective: Effective in cancers resistant to traditional therapies.

Durable Response: Generally fewer side effects than chemotherapy.
