When immunotherapy works, it works really well. But it does not work for every type of cancer, and it does not work for every patient. Not even 10 percent patients were benefiting.

It is important to understand that any treatment procedure brings with itself a fair share of benefits, side effects, and outcome probabilities. And since cancer is such a complex disease, it is essential that you consider a complete team of qualified cancer specialists before you get started on any line of treatment, be it immunotherapy or some other form of targeted therapies.
