Biological therapies, also known as biotherapy or immunotherapy, are a type of treatment that uses living organisms or substances derived from living organisms to treat disease. This can include vaccines, antibodies, or gene therapy. Biological therapies work by targeting specific molecules or cells in the body to enhance the immune system's ability to fight disease, such as cancer or autoimmune disorders. These treatments are often used in conjunction with traditional treatments like chemotherapy or surgery to provide a more comprehensive approach to treating illness.
