Cancer
Immunology Cancer immunology is a field of study focused on the effectiveness of the immune system in protecting against and responding to cancer. It is concerned with understanding how the immune system recognizes, targets, and destroys cancer cells. Research in this field is helping scientists to understand the roles of some of the different types of cells in the body in fighting cancer, as well as exploring how certain immune-based treatments may be used to aid in the fight against cancer. Immunotherapy, a type of cancer treatment that uses the body's own immune system to fight cancer cells, is one of the most promising treatments for cancer, and cancer immunology research is helping to propel the treatment towards broader use.
