Monoclonal antibody therapy

Cancer treatment & testing

Targeted or immune treatment used across many cancers

Monoclonal antibodies are laboratory-made proteins that bind particular targets. Depending on the medicine, they may block a growth signal, mark cancer cells for immune attack, bring immune cells together with cancer cells, or carry a drug or radioactive payload. The target and drug name matter more than the broad category alone.
