Can you get cancer from monoclonal antibodies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not directly, but: Not directly. But certain monoclonal antibody such as ab to tnf, etc, can result in a profound immune suppression state, which then increases the risk of secondary cancer. We see this in clinical practice.
