Best Answer: Chemotherapy is basically targeting cancer cells to inhibit growth or for complete destruction, but healthy cells are also affected this way. Immunotherapy is basically strengthening the immune system to fight against infection. In relation to oncolgy, oncology patients are prone to infection (due to limited number of WBCs which fight off infections) and so they are given a boost for their immune system. Most oncology patients do not die from cancer itself but from acquired infection due to the body's inability to protect against it.
âWhat are chemotherapy and biotherapy? Normally, cells divide and grow at a controlled rate. Chemotherapy is the use of chemicals to stop cancer cells from dividing and growing. In addition to stopping cancer cells from dividing and growing, biotherapy increases the ability of the immune system to destroy cancer cells. Biotherapy can interfere with a tumorâs ability to grow its own blood vessels. It can also reduce side effects of chemotherapy such as lowering of the white blood cells.
