Immunotherapy is an effective cancer treatment that helps boost our body’s natural defenses to fight cancer. This approach uses substances made by the body or in a laboratory to improve the working of your immune system to find and destroy cancer cells in your body.
There are different types of immunotherapy that work in various ways. Some immunotherapy treatments help your immune system to stop or slow the growth of cancer cells. Others may assist your immune system in destroying cancer cells or preventing cancer from spreading to other parts of the body.
