Krebs & DCT

Was sind Krebs und dendritische Zellen?

Was ist Krebs?

Krebs ist eine Krankheit, bei der einige Zellen des Körpers unkontrolliert wachsen und sich auf andere Körperteile ausbreiten. Normalerweise wachsen und teilen sich Zellen, um neue Zellen zu bilden, wenn der Körper sie benötigt. Wenn Zellen altern oder beschädigt werden, sterben sie ab, und neue Zellen übernehmen ihre Funktion. Wenn sich jedoch Krebs entwickelt, bricht dieser geordnete Prozess zusammen. Zellen werden abnormal, alte oder beschädigte Zellen überleben, obwohl sie eigentlich absterben sollten, und neue Zellen entstehen, obwohl sie nicht benötigt werden. Diese zusätzlichen Zellen können sich unaufhörlich teilen und Tumore bilden.

Was ist DCT?

Dendritische Zelltherapie (DCT) ist eine Form der Immuntherapie, deren Ziel es ist, das Immunsystem des Körpers dabei zu unterstützen, Krebszellen zu erkennen und zu zerstören.

Wann ist die Dendritische Zelltherapie effektiv?

DCT ist am effektivsten, wenn es frühzeitig zur Behandlung kleiner Tumore im Verlauf einer Krebstherapie eingesetzt wird. DCT kann die Tumorgröße reduzieren und die Wirksamkeit anderer Behandlungen steigern.
