Immunotherapy and chemotherapy are two commonly used cancer treatments that can help stop the growth of cancer cells.
Chemotherapy works by killing cancer cells "from the inside out," keeping them from growing and spreading. Immunotherapy is a type of cancer treatment that helps trigger your immune system by using or simulating the body’s natural defenses. These treatment can be used together with target therapy or separately depending on the patient and type of cancer.
