Re: immunotherapy- dangerous side effects

It occurred to me to point out that any drug with a "mab" suffix is a kind of immune therapy--a monoclonal antibody. Trastuzumab and Pertuzumab leap readily to mind. They help our immune systems deal with the cancer, but don't overstimulate or permanently alter them.
