Advanced Immunotherapy Treatment in Bangalore for Cancer Care
Immunotherapy Treatment
At Solaris Oncology, we are committed to providing advanced, research-backed, and patient-focused cancer care. As part of our comprehensive oncology services, Immunotherapy stands out as one of the most revolutionary treatments available today. It is transforming how cancers are treated globally—and at Solaris Oncology, we ensure our patients benefit from the latest, safest, and most effective immunotherapy approaches.
Immunotherapy uses the body’s own immune system to fight cancer, making it a powerful option for many types of cancers, especially those that are resistant to traditional treatments. Whether you or your loved one has been recently diagnosed, is undergoing treatment, or is exploring second-line therapies, Solaris Oncology’s Immunotherapy Treatment offers hope, precision, and long-term disease control.
At Solaris Oncology, we follow globally approved chemotherapy protocols, the latest research-based regimens, and personalised treatment plans to deliver care that matches international cancer centres.
What Is Immunotherapy?
Immunotherapy is a type of biological cancer treatment designed to boost, direct, or restore the body’s natural defense system to recognize and kill cancer cells. Unlike chemotherapy, which attacks cancer cells directly, immunotherapy empowers your immune system to do the work.
At Solaris Oncology, our expert oncologists use cutting-edge immunotherapy drugs, targeted agents, and personalized treatment plans to ensure maximum effectiveness. This modern approach to cancer treatment has shown remarkable success in controlling disease progression and improving survival rates in a wide range of cancers.
How Does Immunotherapy Work?
Your immune system is built to protect you from infections, viruses, and abnormal cells. However, cancer cells are smart—they hide, disguise, or trick the immune system into ignoring them. Immunotherapy reverses this.
It works by:
1. Activating the Immune System
Immunotherapy boosts your body’s natural defenses so that immune cells can recognize and attack cancer more aggressively.
2. Targeting Cancer Cell Weaknesses
Some cancer cells carry specific proteins that immunotherapy drugs can latch onto, helping the immune system identify and destroy them.
3. Blocking Cancer’s Escape Mechanisms
Cancer often develops ways to “hide” from the immune system. Immunotherapy blocks these signals so cancer cells can no longer escape detection.
At Solaris Oncology, each patient receives a full immune assessment before therapy begins. This helps us personalize treatment and improve effectiveness.

Types of Immunotherapy Available at Solaris Oncology
We offer a wide range of scientifically proven immunotherapy options:
1. Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors:
These are among the most common and effective immunotherapies.
Cancer uses certain proteins (checkpoints) to turn off immune cells. Checkpoint inhibitors block these proteins, allowing the immune system to attack cancer more strongly.
Common types:
- PD-1 inhibitors
- PD-L1 inhibitors
- CTLA-4 inhibitors
These drugs have shown excellent results in lung cancer, melanoma, renal cell carcinoma, bladder cancer, and head & neck cancers.
2. Monoclonal Antibodies:
These lab-created immune proteins attach to cancer cells and mark them for destruction.
Some monoclonal antibodies:
- Block cancer growth
- Carry toxins to cancer cells
- Stimulate immune cells
They are highly targeted and cause minimal damage to healthy tissue.
3. CAR-T Cell Therapy:
One of the most advanced cancer treatments available today, CAR-T therapy involves modifying the patient’s own immune cells in a lab and reinfusing them to attack cancer. It is mainly used in blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma.
4. Immunomodulators:
These medicines strengthen the immune system overall. They are often used in combination with other treatments like radiation or targeted therapy for maximum results.
5. Cancer Vaccines:
Cancer vaccines help the body recognize cancer cells more clearly and fight them effectively. They work by training the immune system to detect cancer-associated proteins.
Benefits of Immunotherapy at Solaris Oncology
Immunotherapy offers several advantages, especially when provided through a specialized centre like Solaris Oncology
1. Boosts the Natural Immune System
Immunotherapy enhances your body’s ability to detect and fight cancer. It is more natural compared to treatments that directly kill cells.
2. Effective in Difficult-to-Treat Cancers:
Immunotherapy is particularly successful in:
- Lung cancer
- Melanoma
- Bladder cancer
- Kidney cancer
- Liver cancer
- Cervical cancer
- Certain colorectal cancer
Patients with advanced, metastatic, or recurrent disease often benefit significantly.
3. Can Prevent Recurrence:
Immunotherapy creates long-term immune memory, meaning your body learns how to recognize and attack cancer even after treatment ends. This reduces the risk of cancer coming back.
4. Better Tolerance and Fewer Side Effects:
Unlike chemotherapy, immunotherapy does not cause severe hair loss, nausea, or organ damage. Side effects are generally manageable and often temporary.
5. Long-Term Survival Benefits:
Many patients experience long-lasting disease control, extended survival, and in some cases, complete remission even in advanced stages.
