immunotherapies
Immune system treatments
Immunotherapies are medical treatments that harness or modify the body's immune system to fight disease, especially cancer.
Rather than attacking tumors directly like chemotherapy, immunotherapies work by helping immune cells recognize and destroy cancer cells, or by removing barriers that prevent immune response: The patient responded well to immunotherapies after conventional treatments failed.
