Preferred term

immunotherapy  

Definition

  • The immune system, through a variety of responses working together, protects the body from invading pathogens and eliminates disease. When the body's immune system fails to work properly or is compromised by a chronic or acute disease, the body is unable to keep up with the progression of the disease and needs additional help to fight off debilitating effects.
