Biotherapy
Biotherapy is a broad cancer-treatment category covering biological therapy, biologic response modifiers, immunotherapy, monoclonal antibodies, cytokines, cancer vaccines, cell therapies, oncolytic viruses, and related biologic approaches that change immune or tumor biology. Overview Biotherapy, also called biological therapy or biological response modifier therapy in older oncology literature, is a broad cancer-treatment category built around living systems and biologically derived substances.
