Tumor Immunotherapy01:27

Tumor Immunotherapy

2.5K
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.

Hypersensitivities

7.2K
Hypersensitivity, also known as a hypersensitivity reaction or allergic reaction, is a condition where the body's immune system reacts abnormally to a foreign substance. Such substances, that cause hypersensitivity are referred to as an allergen, could be something typically harmless to most people, like pollen or certain foods.
Types of Hypersensitivities
Hypersensitivity reactions are categorized into four types: Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, and Type 4. Each type has a distinct mechanism...

Immunodeficiency Diseases

3.4K
Immunodeficiency disorders are conditions in which the immune system's ability to fight infectious disease and cancer is compromised or entirely absent. The immune system comprises a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body from potentially harmful invaders. When this system is deficient or not functioning properly, it leaves the body susceptible to infections, diseases, or other complications.
There are three main causes of immunodeficiency...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) is a safe and effective treatment for allergic rhinitis, asthma, and Hymenoptera sensitivity. While adverse reactions can occur, they are typically mild and rarely serious, making SCIT well-tolerated.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Allergy and Clinical Immunology
  • Otolaryngology

Background:

  • Allergic rhinitis, asthma, and Hymenoptera sensitivity are prevalent conditions in adults.
  • Current treatments focus on symptomatic relief, with immunotherapy being the only disease-modifying approach.
  • Prevalence rates highlight the significant public health impact of these allergic diseases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the evidence supporting subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) for allergic conditions.
  • To summarize the efficacy and safety profile of SCIT.
  • To provide a primer on SCIT for clinicians and researchers.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature review was conducted.
  • Systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and practice parameters were critically examined.
  • Key findings were synthesized and summarized for this review.

Main Results:

  • SCIT demonstrates efficacy in treating perennial and seasonal allergic rhinitis, asthma, and Hymenoptera sensitivity.
  • Evidence supports SCIT's effectiveness in both adult and pediatric populations.
  • Adverse reactions are reported in up to 71% of patients, but serious or fatal events are very rare.

Conclusions:

  • Subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) is a safe and effective treatment option.
  • SCIT is well-tolerated, with most adverse reactions being mild.
  • The risk of severe or fatal side effects from SCIT is exceptionally low.
