Immunotherapy

Immunotherapy is a type of medical treatment that seeks to boost the body's natural immune system to fight diseases such as cancer. It works by using the body's own immune system to target and destroy cancer cells. Immunotherapy can be used to treat a variety of cancers, including breast, colorectal, lung, renal cell, melanoma, and lymphoma. In some cases, it can be used to prevent cancer from coming back after surgery or other treatments. Immunotherapy can also be used to treat diseases caused by other agents, such as viruses and fungi. It is an important advance in cancer treatment and has shown great potential in improving the survival and quality of life for many people with cancer.
