IMMUNOTHERAPY
Immunotherapy aims to get the body’s immune system to fight the tumor. Local immunotherapy injects a treatment into an affected area, for example, to cause inflammation that causes a tumor to shrink. Systemic immunotherapy treats the whole body by administering an agent such as the protein interferon alpha that can shrink tumors. Immunotherapy can also be considered non-specificif it improves cancer-fighting abilities by stimulating the entire immune system, and it can be considered targeted if the treatment specifically tells the immune system to destroy cancer cells. These therapies are relatively young, but researchers have had success with treatments that introduce antibodies to the body that inhibit the growth of breast cancer cells. Bone marrow transplantation(hematopoetic stem cell transplantation) can also be considered immunotherapy because the donor´s immune cells will often attack the tumor or cancer cells that are present in the host.
HORMONE THERAPY
Several cancers have been linked to some types of hormones, most notably breast and prostate cancer. Hormone therapy is designed to alter hormone production in the body so that cancer cells stopgrowing or are killed completely. Breast cancer hormone therapies often focus on reducing estrogen levels (a common drug for this is tamoxifen) and prostate cancer hormone therapies often focus on reducing testosterone levels. In addition, some leukemia and lymphoma cases can be treated with the hormone cortisone.

INMUNOTERAPIA
Immunotherapy aims to get the body's immune system tofight the tumor. La inmunoterapia tiene como objetivo conseguir el sistema inmunológico del cuerpo para combatir el tumor. Local immunotherapy injects a treatment into an affected area, for example, to cause inflammation that causes a tumor to shrink. Inmunoterapia local inyecta un tratamiento en una zona afectada, por ejemplo, para causar la inflamación que causa un tumor se reduzca. Systemicimmunotherapy treats the whole body by administering an agent such as the protein interferon alpha that can shrink tumors. Inmunoterapia sistémica trata a todo el cuerpo mediante la administración de un agente tal como el interferón alfa proteína que puede reducir los tumores. Immunotherapy can also be considered non-specific if it improves cancer-fighting abilities by stimulating the entire immunesystem, and it can be considered targeted if the treatment specifically tells the immune system to destroy cancer cells. La inmunoterapia también puede ser considerado no específica si mejora la capacidad de lucha contra el cáncer al estimular el sistema inmunológico completo, y se puede considerar si el tratamiento dirigido específicamente le dice al sistema inmunitario para destruir las célulascancerosas. These therapies are relatively young, but researchers have had success with treatments that introduce antibodies to the body that inhibit the growth of breast cancer cells. Estas terapias son relativamente jóvenes, pero los investigadores han tenido éxito con los tratamientos que introducen anticuerpos contra el cuerpo que inhiben el crecimiento de células de cáncer de mama. Bone marrowtransplantation (hematopoetic stem cell transplantation) can also be considered immunotherapy because the donor's immune cells will often attack the tumor or cancer cells that are present in the host. Trasplante de médula ósea (trasplante de células madre hematopoyéticas) también se puede considerar la inmunoterapia porque las células inmunes del donante con frecuencia atacan a las células tumoraleso cancerosas que están presentes en el huésped.

Varios cánceres se han relacionado con algunos tipos de hormonas, especialmente de mama y cáncer de próstata.
