BRM therapy - type of treatment that uses substances from living organisms to treat diseases. These substances can occur naturally in the body or can be made in the laboratory. In cancer, some BRM therapies stimulate or suppress the immune system to help the body fight cancer. Other BRM therapies target specific cancer cells, which can help stop them from growing or kill them. They can also reduce certain side effects caused by some cancer treatments. Types of BRM therapy include immunotherapy (such as cytokines, cancer treatment vaccines, and some antibodies) and some targeted therapies. Also called biological response modifier therapy, biological therapy and biotherapy
