What Is Immunotherapy?

Immunotherapy is a type of cancer treatment that helps your immune system find and fight cancer. Immunotherapy works by:

  • Stopping or slowing the growth of cancer cells.
  • Preventing cancer from spreading to other parts of the body.
  • Boosting the immune system's ability to get rid of cancer cells.
