The concept of ‘teaching’ the immune system to recognize and destroy cancer cells is in a new era. Anticancer immunotherapy is just beginning with the long-term control of cancer cells. This is called Immune therapy which uses the body’s own immune system to target and kills these disease-carrying cells. (more…)
