biotherapeutics
Organism-derived medical treatments
Biotherapeutics are medical treatments derived from living organisms or their components rather than synthesized chemically.
The category includes vaccines, gene therapies, monoclonal antibodies, and cell-based treatments.
The oncologist recommended biotherapeutics after chemotherapy proved ineffective.
The field has expanded rapidly as biotechnology advances enable more targeted approaches to disease.
