Immunotherapy and targeted therapies represent some of the most advanced treatment options in oncology. By harnessing the body’s immune system or attacking specific molecular pathways in cancer cells, these treatments offer high precision and often reduced side effects. At our center, we leverage up-to-date diagnostic tools (such as molecular profiling / biomarkers) to tailor treatments that are right for you.

Immunotherapy is a revolutionary cancer treatment that trains the immune system to detect and destroy cancer cells. Unlike traditional chemotherapy, which directly targets cancer cells, immunotherapy empowers the body’s natural defenses to fight cancer more effectively. At Insight Naperville, we offer a range of immunotherapy options based on the latest research and clinical protocols.

Frequently Asked Questions

Immunotherapy is a cancer treatment that harnesses the body’s immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells. Unlike chemotherapy, which targets cancer cells directly, immunotherapy boosts your natural defenses to fight cancer more effectively.

Chemotherapy attacks all rapidly dividing cells, while immunotherapy “teaches” your immune system to find and attack cancer cells specifically.

Patients with various types of cancer may benefit from immunotherapy, including melanoma, lung cancer, and certain blood cancers. Eligibility depends on your cancer type, stage, overall health, and prior treatments.

Immunotherapy is delivered in our state-of-the-art outpatient center via infusions, injections, or oral medications depending on your treatment plan. Each session is carefully monitored by our oncology specialists for safety and effectiveness.

Side effects vary but can include fatigue, mild flu-like symptoms, skin rashes, or inflammation. Our oncology team provides guidance and supportive care to manage any side effects throughout your treatment.
