Your immune system is a powerful protection mechanism that works around the clock to defend you from harmful germs and internal stresses to normal cells in the body. After years of research, doctors have found a way to unleash its cancer-fighting potential, too. Immunotherapy harnesses the power of the immune system by helping it recognize cancer cells that have been hiding and targeting them for destruction. This guide, published by Patient Resource Publishing in partnership with the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC), explains how the immune system works, the various types of immunotherapy available and ways to help manage your treatment and follow-up care.
