Immunotherapy Program

What Is Immunotherapy?

Immunotherapy is a type of cancer treatment that helps your immune system find and fight cancer. Immunotherapy works by:

• Stopping or slowing the growth of cancer cells.
• Preventing cancer from spreading to other parts of the body.
• Boosting the immune system's ability to get rid of cancer cells.

Every patient is different and is evaluated to determine the best treatment option for their cancer. Immunotherapy may be used to treat a number of different cancers.

Several types of cancer immunotherapy have been FDA-approved and are available from your doctor. Others are being studied in clinical trials. There are active clinical trials ongoing at Northside Hospital involving the use of immunotherapy to treat certain cancers.
