Immunotherapy for solid tumors
Immunotherapies are a variety of therapeutics used to treat cancer by stimulating the body's own immune system making it more capable of killing cancer cells. Immunotherapies work differently that traditional cancer treatments, like chemotherapy and radiotherapy, because they target the immune system opposed to directly killing cellular tissue.
