GlossaryImmunotherapy

treatment that uses the body's immune system to fight diseases

Immunotherapy is a type of treatment that harnesses the body's immune system to fight diseases, including cancer and autoimmune conditions. It can involve stimulating the immune system to work harder or smarter to attack disease cells, or providing the immune system with components, such as man-made immune system proteins, to enhance its response.
