The concept of 'teaching' the immune system to recognize and destroy cancer cells is over a century old, but the development of immunotherapeutic strategies for cancer was slow for many decades.

The video takes an audio-visual journey through the different approaches that are being investigated to harness the immune system to treat cancer.
