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.
Immunotherapy (also called biological therapy and biotherapy) uses the body's immune system to fight cancer. Immunotherapy works by either stimulating your immune system to attack cancer cells or providing your immune system with what it needs, such as antibodies, to fight cancer. Common types of immunotherapy include: 1  Monoclonal antibodies: These are man-made versions of immune system proteins. 2  Antibodies can be useful in treating cancer because they can be designed to attack a very specific part of a cancer cell.
