Latest Advancement In Oncology Immunotherapy
Scientific advancements in cancer treatment have grown by leaps and bounds in recent decades. Cancer immunotherapy has now emerged as the fourth pillar of cancer treatment, standing alongside surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Cancer immunotherapy is a type of cancer treatment that uses the body’s immune system to fight the disease. It works by either boosting the immune system’s natural ability to combat cancer or by employing specialized therapies to help strengthen it.
