Biological therapy is a type of treatment that works with your immune system. It can help fight cancer or help control side effects from other cancer treatments like chemotherapy.

FirstHealth also uses monoclonal antibodies to treat cancer. A monoclonal antibody is a laboratory-produced molecule that’s carefully engineered to attach to specific defects in your cancer cells. Monoclonal antibodies mimic the antibodies your body naturally produces as part of your immune system’s response to germs, vaccines and other invaders.

Immunotherapy can be delivered in different ways, including intravenous treatments, oral medications, topically and intravescially.
