Cancer Immunotherapy
Cancer immunotherapy is a form of treatment that uses a person's own immune system to fight cancer. It works by stimulating the body's natural defenses to recognize, target and destroy cancer cells. The goal of cancer immunotherapy is to help the body's own defenses recognize and attack tumor cells, while leaving healthy cells intact. It has been used to treat a variety of cancers, including melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer, bladder cancer, renal cell cancer, and head and neck cancer. In recent years, cancer immunotherapy has become a major focus of research and clinical trials due to its potential to reduce or even eliminate tumors without the toxic side effects of traditional treatments. With further research, immunotherapy may provide a more effective and less toxic option for treating cancer.
