Intratumoral Immunotherapy

Intratumoral immunotherapy involves injecting a cancerous tumor directly with treatment to help create an immune response, with the goal of using the tumor as its own vaccine and with less chance for toxic side effects.

Delivering immunotherapy treatment directly to a tumor has shown to be more effective than treating the whole body for cancer due to the immune dysfunction that occurs within the tumor, because it ultimately teaches your immune system how to fight cancer.
