Immunotherapy—empowering our own immune system to kill tumors—has revolutionized the treatment of cancer.
Immunotherapy—empowering our own immune system to kill tumors—has revolutionized the treatment of cancer. This evolving form of therapy is designed to prime the body’s own immune system to fight the disease head-on. Doctors report promising results, including tough-to-treat tumors melting away. For some patients, such as those with melanoma and lung cancer, immunotherapy has increased survival rates from months to years.
However, the treatment doesn’t work for everyone, and even when it does work initially, it can lose effectiveness as time goes on. Why do some people respond to treatments and others do not? Which cancers respond best to immunotherapy?
Join us to hear from those on the leading edge of immunotherapy research:
How does immunotherapy work?
Why do some cancers turn “blind eye” to immunotherapy?
What does the future hold for expanding the benefit of immunotherapy to more patients?
