Immunotherapy

Immunotherapy is a type of treatment that uses the body's own immune system to fight diseases. It can be used to treat different types of cancer and is becoming increasingly popular as a form of treatment. Immunotherapy works by activating or suppressing the immune system to recognize and destroy cancer cells. It may involve the use of drugs that take advantage of the body’s natural defenses to fight cancer cells, such as monoclonal antibodies, cytokines, and cancer vaccines. It can also be used in combination with traditional forms of treatment such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Significant advances in this field have improved the effectiveness of immunotherapy to help fight cancer, as well as other diseases.
