| | Biological Therapy / Introduction |
| | A relatively new approach for cancer treatment is biological therapy. | | | This cancer treatment is also known as biotherapy, immunotherapy, or biological response modifier therapy. | | | Biological therapy began with the discovery of immunization more than 200 years ago. |

| | Biological therapies are treatments that use substances that occur naturally within the body. | | | There is more information about biological therapies and about interferon in other sections of CancerHelp UK. | | | As a maintenance therapy, studies have been done, but we'll need to follow patients' progress for a long time before we really find out if it is the best option when compared to interferon, for example. |

| | Often a form of intravesical chemotherapy, biological therapy uses materials made by the body or made in a laboratory to boost, direct or restore the body's natural defenses against the cancer. | | | There are four main types of treatment for bladder cancer : surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy and biological therapy. | | | Internal radiation therapy, with radioactive material placed in the bladder, may be combined with external radiation, which comes from a machine located outside the body. |

| | What is Biological Therapy? - Cancer Care Health monitor |
| | Biological therapy is a relatively new way to treat cancer. | | | The trick is to get the immune system to recognize them as "foreign." Biological therapy means using proteins-either man-made or drawn from animal or human cells-to start or push the human immune system to work harder. | | | If MAbs prove able to find their targets reliably, they will play a very important role in cancer therapy. |

| | Some recent studies suggest that combining biological therapy with chemotherapy (chemobiological) therapy produces significantly higher response rates than biological therapy alone, although the data need to be confirmed in a larger study. | | | It also may be used as palliative therapy to lessen pain or bleeding in patients with inoperable or widespread metastatic RCC. | | | This treatment may be delivered as a focused beam that is projected into the body (called external therapy) or in the form of radioactive materials placed at the site of the cancer through thin plastic tubes (called brachytherapy). |
