Inmunoterapia por tipo de cáncer

Inmunoterapia: Para todos los tipos de cáncer

Immunotherapy is a form of cancer treatment that uses the power of the body’s immune system to prevent, control, and eliminate cancer. From the preventive vaccine for cervical and liver cancer to the first therapy ever proven to extend the lives of patients with metastatic melanoma, immunology has already led to major treatment breakthroughs for a number of cancers. Every cancer type is unique, though, and immunology and immunotherapy are impacting each cancer in different ways.

Explore immunotherapies by cancer type and explore different kinds of treatment, why immunotherapy matters, and how to support cancer immunotherapy research.
