The immune system is a network of cells and organs that work together to defend the body against attacks by foreign substances. This network is one of the body's main defenses against disease. It works against disease, including cancer, in many ways. For example, the immune system may recognize the difference between healthy cells and cancer cells and work to eliminate those that become cancerous.
Cancer may develop when the immune system breaks down or is not functioning adequately. Immunotherapies are designed to repair, stimulate, or enhance the immune system's responses.
