Immunotherapy is a treatment modality in oncology that boosts the immune system to kill cancer cells. It is given intravenously (IV) like chemotherapy. The most common side effects include rash, diarrhea, hypothyroidism, hepatitis, nephritis, and interstitial lung disease. Immunotherapy, when used with or without chemotherapy, has shown to benefit and cure cancer in 15-20% of cases with minimal side effects.
