Current Therapy in Immunology and Rheumatology

Description

Rheumatology is a medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of rheumatic disorders. Rheumatologists are doctors who have completed professional rheumatology training. Immunotherapy, also known as biologic therapy, is a form of cancer treatment that works by boosting the body's natural defences to help it fight cancer. It improves or restores immune system function by using chemicals manufactured by the body or in a laboratory. Immunotherapy can have a variety of adverse effects that affect people differently. The type of cancer you have, how advanced it is, the type of therapy you are receiving, and the dose will all influence the side-effects you experience and how they make you feel. This book offers practical advice on how to manage and diagnose individuals with acute and chronic musculoskeletal disorders.
