Immunotherapy: Hope and High Costs in Ukraine's Cancer Fight
Immunotherapy: A Promising Cancer Treatment with a High Price Tag Ukraine is facing challenges in providing affordable healthcare, and cancer treatment is no exception. A recent video by Ukrainian oncologist, onkology_tur, highlights the effectiveness and high cost of immunotherapy. The oncologist explains that immunotherapy works by "opening the eyes" of the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells. This is unlike chemotherapy, which doesn't always produce the desired results. However, the cost of immunotherapy is a significant barrier to access for many Ukrainians, with prices starting at 50,000 hryvnias. The video's clear explanation and the oncologist's expertise make it a valuable resource for public understanding of this crucial treatment. The high cost, however, underscores the need for affordable access to advanced cancer treatments in Ukraine.
