Immunotherapy: is a type of cancer treatment the helps the immune system to fight cancer. The immune system helps your body fight infections and other diseases. It uses substances made by the body or in a laboratory in order to improve or restore the body's immune system function.
Cancer disparities among persons of African descent are driven by both biological and nonbiological factors. There is evidence in breast cancer that psychosocial factors (environment, socioe...
