How Is Immunotherapy Transforming Cancer Treatment?
Immunotherapy leverages the body's own immune system to fight cancer. By enhancing or restoring immune function, these therapies can effectively target and destroy cancer cells. Checkpoint inhibitors, a type of immunotherapy, block proteins that prevent the immune system from attacking cancer cells. Drugs like Keytruda and Opdivo have shown remarkable success in treating various cancers, including melanoma and lung cancer, by unleashing the immune response against tumors.
