Immunotherapy is the use of a patient's own immune system to treat disease and is one of the most promising new therapies in the fight against cancer. Cancer cells invade the body's immune system, but they are similar to normal, healthy cells and can hide from the immune system and spread. In cancer immunotherapy or immuno-oncology, a patient's immune system is ‘activated' to fight cancer...
