Les immunothérapies ont beaucoup de potentiel pour ce qui est d’utiliser le système immunitaire pour attaquer les cancers. Elles sont efficaces chez certains patients, mais inefficaces chez d’autres patients, par contre, et même si elles donnent de bons résultats, les immunothérapies peuvent s’accompagner de graves effets toxiques, parfois mortels.

Immunotherapies show tremendous potential to unleash the immune system to attack cancers. However, while some patients benefit, others do not respond and, even when it is successful, immunotherapy treatments can carry with them severe, and sometimes fatal, toxicities. The most promising of these immunotherapies are based on T-cells, cells of the immune system, particularly CAR-T cells, which are showing significant efficacy in treating terminal cancers, but which can also often result in significant life-threatening toxicities.
