Immunotherapy is still proving itself. It's often used as a last resort, once other therapies have reached the end of their effectiveness.
What is the success rate of immunotherapy?
Immunotherapy drugs work better in some cancers than others and while they can be a miracle for some, they fail to work for all patients. Overall response rates are about 15 to 20%.
How long can you stay on immunotherapy?
Many people stay on immunotherapy for up to two years. Checkpoint inhibitors can take weeks or months to start working, depending on how your immune system and the cancer respond. Most cancers have treatment protocols that set out which drugs to have, how much and how often.
