Immunotherapy is treatment that uses a person’s own immune system against cancer. Immunotherapy can boost or change how the immune system works so it can find and attack cancer cells.
In the past few decades immunotherapy has become an important component of treating some types of cancer. Novel immunotherapy treatments are being tested and get approval, and new ways of working with the immune system are being discovered at a very fast pace.
Immunotherapy works better for some cancer types than for others.
