About "Biological Therapy"

The type of cancer treatment that uses living organisms or substances obtained from living things or synthesized in the lab is called biological therapy. It is used to prevent or slow tumor growth and prevent cancer from spreading. Biological therapy induces the immune system to identify and kill cancer cells, so it is also known as immunotherapy. Examples of biological therapy are monoclonal antibodies, interferon, interleukin-2, and colony-stimulating factors. Apart from cancer treatment, they are used in conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn’s disease.
