Overview
What is Immunotherapy?
Immunotherapy is a groundbreaking cancer treatment that enhances the body’s immune system to identify, attack, and destroy cancer cells more effectively. Unlike chemotherapy, which directly targets cancer cells, immunotherapy boosts the body’s natural defenses, offering a highly targeted and less toxic approach to cancer treatment.
At Dr. KM Cherian Institute of Medical Sciences, recognized as the best hospital for immunotherapy treatment in Kerala, we offer advanced immunotherapy options to improve cancer patients’ survival rates and quality of life.

Immunotherapy works by:
- Activating the immune system to recognize and eliminate cancer cells.
- Blocking cancer cell defenses that prevent immune response.
- Enhancing the effectiveness of immune cells to destroy tumors.
