Immunotherapy
Immunotherapy triggers the immune system in your own body to locate and kill cancerous cells caused by basal cell carcinoma. It utilizes materials produced in the lab or by the body to improve your immune functions. There are two main types of immunotherapy for treating this form of skin cancer. Cytokines can boost immunity to fight against cancerous cells, while immune checkpoint inhibitors can show the immune system the exact locations of the tumors for more effective functions. This option might be combined with chemotherapy or surgery to allow for better results. Some possible side effects include skin irritation, muscle aches, memory issues, headache, chills, fever, or fatigue. [15]
