How many subcutaneous immunotherapy injections are approved to treat cancer?
Available treatments for cancer
two
correct!
Subcutaneous injections deliver medication, including certain cancer treatments, into a person’s body. These injections are shallower than those injected into muscle tissue and do not require as much force, which means they’re often less painful. It also takes less time to receive a subcutaneous injection than an intravenous infusion. This can improve a person’s quality of life, especially when their treatments are ongoing.
Subcutaneous injections are often less painful because the needles are smaller. The amount of pain a person feels depends on factors like where the injection is administered, their pain tolerance, and skin sensitivity.

to absorb the medication slowly over a period of time.
