Immunotherapy is an emerging oncological treatment that helps the immune system to fight cancer. Immunotherapy works by helping the immune system recognise and attack cancer cells. It is also known as biological therapy. Although the immune system can prevent the cancer growth, cancer cells have various mechanisms to avoid their destruction by the immune system. Immunotherapy helps the immune system to function better against the cancer. Various types of immunotherapies are used to treat cancers. These include immune checkpoint inhibitors, CAR T-cell therapy, therapeutic vaccines, oncolytic viral therapy, gene therapy, monoclonal antibodies and immunomodulatory agents. Immunotherapy has been approved for treatment of many cancers. However, it is not used as widely as other conventional therapies like surgery, chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Much research and clinical trials are required before widely using immunotherapy in clinics.
