The body's natural defense system is designed to recognize and eliminate altered or foreign cells, including cancerous ones. However, cancer cells can occasionally evade this system, allowing them to develop and progress. Immunotherapy, particularly immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy enhances the immune system's ability to detect and attack cancer cells by releasing the brakes on the immune response, including PD-(L)1 and CTLA4.
