List of Immunotherapy Drugs for Cancer 2025

Immunotherapy enhances the body’s natural defenses by helping the immune system locate and destroy cancer cells, which often evade detection or suppress immune responses. Certain immunotherapies work by tagging cancer cells, making them more visible to immune cells so they can be targeted effectively. Other types stimulate the activity and proliferation of T cells or other immune components, strengthening the immune attack on tumors. By restoring and amplifying immune function, immunotherapy offers a powerful approach to treating cancers that resist conventional therapies.
