Immunotherapy

Immunotherapy is a type of medical treatment that helps a person's body fight diseases such as cancer by boosting the immune system. It involves using drugs to stimulate the body's own natural defences, such as certain types of white blood cells, to fight off the disease. Immunotherapy is a rapidly growing field of medicine and has been used to treat a variety of cancers, including melanoma, lung cancer, and lymphoma. Immunotherapy has become increasingly important in the fight against many cancers because it has the potential to target cancer cells with fewer side effects than conventional treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiation. It can also potentially be used in combination with other treatments, such as chemotherapy, to improve efficacy and minimize the chance of recurrence.
