THE ROLE OF IMMUNOTHERAPY IN TREATING AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES: RECENT ADVANCES AND CHALLENGES

Abstract

The body creates autoimmune disorders through its misguided attack on cells and tissues. The standard treatment using immunosuppressants alongside corticosteroids delivers temporary benefits yet produces systemic immune deficiency together with multiple unwanted side effects. Immunotherapy represents a modern therapeutic approach which targets specific immune system elements and shows potential to enhance multiple disease management procedures. This review focuses on autoimmune illness immunotherapy while studying new developments and essential therapeutic strategies including cellular treatments and cytokine inhibitors and monoclonal antibodies. The medical procedures offer enhanced outcomes to patients along with disease control though they present several complications which comprise elevated expense and immune system side effects plus variable patient results. The field of immunotherapy requires individualized treatment strategies because new discoveries prove that further research must focus on maximizing both accessibility and safety for therapeutic solutions.
