| dc.description.abstract | Among all the major cancer types, lung cancer is one of the most common as it holds a higher
percentage of cancer related mortality and treating lung cancer is yet a challenge. Chemotherapy,
radiation therapy, surgery are the most commonly used and traditional treatment options for lung
cancer but these possess side effects and various complications. Therefore, to minimize the side
effects, a novel treatment option is needed and it is cancer immunotherapy. Immunotherapy is a
new way to treat cancer that can attack tumor cells by using the host's immune system. Various
immunotherapy drugs have been evaluated for lung cancer. This review focused on the relation
between cancer and immune system, new immunotherapy treatment options for lung cancer as
well as the challenges and prospects of cancer immunotherapy. | |
