To overcome the malignancies immune therapy activates the monoclonal antibodies, CAR therapy, TCRtherapy. Vaccines like sipuleucel, Talimogen laherparepvec, and bacillus Calmette –Guerin /BCG are used to treat cancers like prostate cancer, bladder cancer, and skin cancers. Combination therapy is a type of immune therapy that includes radiotherapy with immune therapy, immune therapy +chemotherapy, pairing immune therapies.
