The first one relies on isolating the patient’s own immune
cells from the blood, manipulating them in the lab to become
more “killer-like” then infusing them back to be more
efficient at destroying the cancer
The second tactic works by drugs that weaken the barriers
(checkpoints) that normally interfere with the ability of T
cells to seek out and attack tumors
