Head and Neck cancer if detected early can be fully treated by single modality approach like Chemotherapy, radiotherapy or surgery). If detected in the later stages, a multimodal approach that includes a combination of chemotherapy, radiotherapy and conventional tumor removal surgery or advanced techniques like Photon beam therapy or Gamma knife surgery or Stereotactic Radiotherapy can be used. These approaches can be used if the tumor is localized or not very deep seated or has spread very little.

What if the tumor is recurrent or too deep seated to remove surgically or rapidly spreading and threatening to affect the vital organs of the body? Some pretty exciting and goal directed treatments are now available in India for patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck cancer and many of them are in their advance stages.

One such treatment under the advanced stages of clinical trial is the Checkpoint Inhibitors and Immune Modulators. This treatment works on the molecules present in our body which are responsible for our immune response. It selectively blocks or activates those cells in order to enhance anticancer response in the body. These drugs can be injected with adjuvant immune enhancers to boost the body’s cancer fighting ability.

Another major avenue of immunotherapy for head and neck cancer is Adoptive T cell transfer. In this approach, T cells (disease killer cells circulating in the blood) are removed from a patient, genetically modified or treated with chemicals to enhance their activity, and then re-introduced into the patient with the goal of improving the immune system’s anti-cancer response. Immunotherapy for cancer can help avoid surgery in many patients.
