Immunotherapy

Immunotherapy helps your immune system recognise and attack cancer cells. It may be used for advanced penile cancer when other treatments are less effective.

Immunotherapy is a treatment that uses your own immune system to fight tumour cells. It can cause cancer to shrink or sometimes disappear altogether.

This chapter contains general information about treatment for advanced penile cancer. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice or treatment. Always consult your doctor or healthcare provider for guidance on your individual medical situation.
