Immunotherapy for adrenal cancer is becoming a leading-edge treatment—especially for those with advanced or treatment-resistant disease. This guide explains immunotherapy in simple terms, with a focus on local resources and support.

What Is Immunotherapy?

This cancer treatment trains your immune system to target and destroy adrenal cancer cells, often with fewer severe side effects than chemotherapy or radiation.

Types of Immunotherapy for Adrenal Cancer

• Checkpoint Inhibitors: Enable immune cells to attack adrenal cancer by “removing the brakes.”
• Monoclonal Antibodies: Flag adrenal cancer cells for immune attack.
• Cancer Vaccines: Teach your immune system to target adrenal cancer specifically.

• Gentler on Seniors: Many report fewer severe side effects than with chemotherapy.
• Durable Remission: Some patients maintain control of their cancer for extended periods.
