Immunotherapy
Immunotherapy, also called biologic therapy, is a type of cancer treatment that boosts the body’s natural defenses to fight cancer. It uses substances made by the body or in a laboratory to improve or restore immune system function. Immunotherapy may work by:
- • Stopping or slowing the growth of cancer cells
- • Stopping cancer from spreading to other parts of the body
- • Helping the immune system work better at destroying cancer cells
- • Monoclonal antibodies and tumor-agnostic therapies
- • Non-specific immunotherapies
- • Oncolytic virus therapy
- • T-cell therapy
- • Cancer vaccines
