rastuzumab/Herceptin

Immunotherapy is the use of immune mechanisms against tumors. These are
used in various forms of cancer, such as breast cancer
(trastuzumab/Herceptin®) but also in leukemia (gemtuzumab
ozogamicin/Mylotarg®). The agents are monoclonal antibodies directed
against proteins that are characteristic to the cells of the cancer in
question, or cytokines that modulate the immune system's response.
