However, the symptoms depend on location of cancer. Some of the cancer and associated
symptoms are given below:

Our immune system protects us from foreign invading particles like bacteria and virus but cancer
cells escape the immuno-surveillance due to self and non-foreign origin. Under progressive tumor
conditions, immune system is suppressed and immune cells like dendritic cells fail to mature and
generate anti-tumour activity. Immunotherapy is a treatment system where the immune system is
activated to recognize and kill tumours inside body. Immunotherapy aims to target tumor cells
without damaging the healthy ones and have very low or no toxicity. Dendritic cells are one of the
important components of our immune system and play vital role in antigen presentation to body
immune cells. Recent advances in immunotherapeutic area have led to the emergence of Dendritic
cell based immunotherapeutic. It is a personalized cancer treatment comprising of patients own
cells exposed to cancer antigens. These cells, when infuse back to patient, generate anti-tumor
response. This technology can be applied to multiple cancers.
Thus with our standardized, broad based and holistic approach, it is now possible to obtain
noticeable improvements in cancer patients, in the symptoms as well as their functional abilities.
