What Are Biologics and Immunotherapy for Brain Tumors?

Cancer biologics and immunotherapy are cancer treatments that use biological substances such as antibodies, cells or parts of cells to fight specific types of cancer. These cutting-edge treatments can:

• Stimulate the immune system to target cancer cells
• Attack specific cancer cells or molecules within them
