Immunotherapy is a kind of treatment that has had stunning results in some patients with cancers like melanoma, lymphoma, and kidney cancer. Immunotherapy drugs empower the body’s immune system by enabling the body to fight cancer — an approach that can slow or halt cancer in certain patients. In our latest podcast series, The Science Behind Cancer, we dive into the basics of immunotherapy with the help of Osama Rahma, MD, a medical oncologist at Dana-Farber’s Center for Immuno-Oncology. With Rahma’s help, we explore the different types of immunotherapy, who should be treated with it, how researchers are looking to further develop this treatment, and more.
