The field of oncology has undergone a paradigm shift in recent years with the emergence of immunotherapy as a promising avenue for cancer treatment. Immunotherapy harnesses the body's immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells, offering new hope for patients with various types of cancer. This article delves into the intersection of immunology and oncology, exploring how insights from immunological research have revolutionized cancer treatment. It discusses key concepts such as immune checkpoint inhibitors, adoptive cell therapy and cancer vaccines, highlighting their role in enhancing the immune response against cancer. Additionally, the article examines challenges and future directions in the field, emphasizing the importance of continued research and collaboration to unlock the full potential of immunotherapy in oncology.
