Immunotherapy
Immunotherapy is a type of medical treatment that harnesses the body's own immune system to combat diseases, particularly cancer and certain autoimmune disorders. The immune system is a complex network of cells, tissues, and molecules that work together to defend the body against harmful invaders like bacteria, viruses, and abnormal cells.
