Immunotherapy

Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center presents: Immunotherapy

Everyone is born with a defense system against cancer.

We’re helping patients fight melanoma, leukemia, lung and other cancers by harnessing the power of their own immune systems.

Our immune systems are capable of detecting changes in our bodies that cause cancer.

But a cancer cell has a way of camouflaging itself so that the system doesn’t acknowledge these changes as a threat.

A new drug helps us take advantage of our bodies’ natural ability to recognize cancer cells and attack them.

By making the concept of targeted immunotherapy a reality for our patients we’re changing the way the world treats cancer. More science. Less fear.
