Biological
therapy and chemotherapy are both treatments that fight cancer. While they may
seem alike, they work in different ways. Biological therapy helps your immune

cells directly. Liver

How
does biological therapy fight cancer ?
Doctors
are not sure how biological therapy helps your immune system fight cancer.
But
they think it may : -
- Stop or slow the growth of cancer cells.
- Make it easier for your immune system to destroy, or get rid of, cancer cells.
- Keep cancer from spreading to other parts of your body.
What
is my immune system and how does it work ?
Your
immune system includes your spleen, lymph nodes, tonsils, bone marrow, and
white blood cells. These all help protect you from getting infections and
diseases.
When
your immune system works the way it should, it can tell the difference between
"good" cells that keep you healthy and "bad" cells that
make you sick. But sometimes this doesn't happen. Doctors are doing research to
learn why some immune systems don't fight off diseases like cancer... Kidney

What
are cancer vaccines?
Cancer
vaccines are a form of biological therapy. While other vaccines (like ones for
measles or mumps) are given before you get sick, cancer vaccines are given
after you have cancer. Cancer vaccines may help your body fight the cancer and
keep it from coming back. Liver
