Our own immune system, a powerful weapon in the fight against cancer
Tumor cells develop different ways to suppress or avoid detection by the immune system and continue to grow in an uncontrolled manner. Therefore, one of the most advanced and promising strategies in terms of clinical development is immunotherapy, which stimulates the immune system to recognize and eliminate the tumor.
A significant benefit has been observed in certain tumor types, such as melanoma or lung cancer, with the use of immunotherapeutic drugs such as Opdivo® (nivolumab) or Keytruda® (pembrolizumab).
