Cytokine-Induced Killer Therapy
What is CIK Therapy?
CIK therapy stands for Cytokine-Induced Killer cell therapy. It's a type of immunotherapy, which means it's a treatment that helps your body's immune system fight diseases. In CIK therapy, special cells from your immune system called CIK cells are grown in our laboratory and then injected back into your body..
How Does CIK Therapy Work?
CIK cells are like tiny soldiers in your body's defense system. They're trained to recognize and attack harmful cells, like cancer cells or cells infected with viruses. During CIK therapy, these cells are multiplied in the lab to make a bigger army of fighters. Then, they're put back into your body where they can target and destroy the bad cells more effectively.
What is CIK used to treat?
Solid tumours such as lung cancer, breast cancer, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer, and others.
History of CIK Therapy
CIK therapy has been developed over the years through ongoing research in the field of immunotherapy. Scientists have been studying how to harness the power of the immune system to fight diseases like cancer. CIK therapy has shown promising results in clinical trials, leading to its use as a treatment option for certain types of solid cancers (tumours) and other diseases.
