Immunotherapy is a treatment that fights cancer by boosting the body's natural defences, using substances made by the body or in a laboratory to improve or restore immune system function.
It helps the immune system work better at destroying cancer cells, stopping or slowing their growth and helping to prevent cancer from spreading to other parts of the body.
