If you or a loved one is facing adrenal cancer, understanding this treatment option could make all the difference. Here’s what every Newhall senior needs to know.

What Is Immunotherapy?

Immunotherapy helps your immune system recognize and fight cancer more effectively. It’s more targeted than chemotherapy, and for many, has fewer side effects—an important factor for seniors.

How Does Immunotherapy Work?

• Checkpoint Inhibitors: Release immune cells to fight adrenal cancer.
