A member asked:
Does immunotherapy cure cancer or does it only slow it down?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Variable: Occasionally, immunotherapy may cure cancer, but far more often it may slow a tumor down and at other times it does no good. The result depends on the type of tumor, type of immunotherapy and host factors.
