How Our Immune Systems Are Used to Treat Cancer
Our immune system best recognizes threats that originate outside of the body rather than abnormalities that originate from within, so our natural defense system doesn’t normally detect cancer. In addition, cancer cells themselves can give off substances that keep the immune system from finding and destroying them. The immunotherapy treatments being used today are ways of “waking up” our immune system, either by stimulating the patient’s own natural defenses or by using lab-made substances to assist our immune system. This enables the body to recognize and fight cancer in ways that it normally wouldn’t be able to do.
