One of the most exciting advances in cancer care today is immunotherapy, a treatment that empowers the body’s immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells.
Unlike chemotherapy, which works by directly killing cancer cells, immunotherapy stimulates or strengthens your body’s natural defenses so they can better identify and destroy the cancer on their own. In essence, it teaches the immune system to do what it does best—protect you.
Immunotherapy isn’t used for every type of cancer. But for some patients, particularly those with certain advanced or hard-to-treat cancers, it can offer a new option when others may be limited. Ongoing research is expanding the types of cancer that may benefit from these innovative treatments.
Your eligibility for immunotherapy depends on several factors, including your diagnosis, medical history, and the unique genetic and molecular characteristics of your cancer. That’s why personalized care and thoughtful evaluation are so important.
