Vaccine Therapy

Preventive and Immunologic Intervention

Vaccine therapy is a treatment that uses a substance or group of substances to stimulate the immune system to destroy a tumor or an infectious microorganism such as a bacterium or virus. It includes cancer vaccines, which are designed to prompt the immune system to attack existing tumor cells rather than to prevent disease before it occurs.
