Immunotherapy, also referred to as biological therapy, uses the body’s natural defense system to fight cancer cells and other infections. Drugs used in immunotherapy either suppress or enhance the body’s immune system. Immunotherapy drugs generate an immune response and activate the production of antibodies. Immunotherapy offers lesser side effects over traditional therapies, such as chemotherapy, surgery, radiation therapy etc., as it uses the body’s natural defense mechanism. Immunotherapy seems to be a promising treatment option for complex disorders, such as cancer and autoimmune diseases.
