Summary Introduction
To review:
Immunotherapy arrests the mechanism of the tumor cell development and the destruction of immune system.
Introduction:
Cancer develops often by mutation in the somatic or germ line. It may be inherited when it is in germ cell. Our immune system destroys the cancer cell by identifying it. But the younger and older children do not have well developed immune system. But it has been overcome by the development of immunotherapy.
