Immunotherapy, Palliative Therapy for Pancreatic cancer

 Immunotherapy
It is also called biological therapy, as it aims to boost a person's immune system to fight disease. Immunotherapy is not yet available for pancreatic cancer, but is being actively researched, along with the investigation into vaccines that arm the immune system to attack cancer cell.


Palliative Therapy
Palliative therapy is used to ease symptoms and manage pain regardless of the stage of the disease or the need for other therapies. The goal of palliative care is to improve quality of life not just in the body, but in the mind and spirit. While palliative therapies are clearly appropriate at the very advanced stages of the disease, they are also helpful when given in tandem with other cancer treatments still working to fight the disease.
