Immunotherapy is a conventional oncology treatment or care pathway used within standard cancer care, usually under the direction of oncology specialists and with disease-specific indications. In cancer care, it should be evaluated by evidence level, intended use, safety, interactions, and whether it is being used as conventional treatment, supportive care, an experimental adjunct, or an alternative claim.
