The topic immunostimulator imiquimod can destroy the neoplasm before it expresses its invasive potential. A strict clinical follow-up of the treated zone must be observed at least 5 years to detect any early sign of recurrence.

01:27Tumor Immunotherapy
Immunotherapy is a treatment that boosts or manipulates the immune system to fight diseases, including cancer. For instance, by stimulating an immune response through vaccinations against viruses that cause cancers, like hepatitis B virus and human papillomavirus, these diseases can be prevented. Nonetheless, some cancer cells can avoid the immune system due to their rapid mutation and division. The immune response to many cancers involves three phases: elimination, equilibrium, and escape.
