Impact of immunotherapy on the quality of life of patients with lung cancer
Keywords:
quality of life, lung cancer, palliative care, immunotherapy, biological therapiesAbstract
Lung cancer is the second most common cancer and the leading cause of death from neoplasms. The disease and its treatment affect the quality of life of the patient. Immunotherapy stimulates the immune system to face the neoplasia instead of directly attacking the tumor like conventional treatments, it is more specific and less toxic. A review of bibliographic articles was carried out in order to identify the impact of immunotherapy on the quality of life of patients with lung cancer. Immunotherapeutic treatments favor the recognition and destruction of specific cells and generate immunological memory. Vaccines, adaptive cell therapy, and checkpoint inhibitor monoclonal antibodies are used for the treatment of lung cancer. These therapies are effective and their side effects are milder, they have a positive impact on the survival and quality of life of patients.Downloads
