There are at present five distinct classes of immunotherapies accessible for patients, for more than 20 disease types. 

As of June 2017, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has affirmed 32 unique immunotherapies for patients with malignancies including yet not restricted to: melanoma, lung disease, bladder malignant growth, kidney malignant growth, lymphoma, leukemia, and prostate malignant growth. These immunotherapies upgrade the malignant growth battling action of the safe framework in an assortment of ways, which can be generally partitioned into the five after classes: 

1. Cell-based immunotherapies truly supplement patients' resistant frameworks with invulnerable cells. 

2. Immunomodulators can act straightforwardly on resistant cells to advance enemy of malignant growth action. 

3. Antibodies help instruct or stimulate the invulnerable framework against an expected danger. In 1990, a tuberculosis antibody called BCG (bacillus Calmette-Guerin), turned into the first to be FDA-affirmed in the United States, for the treatment of bladder disease. 

4. Neutralizer based focused on treatments can target disease cells legitimately, or different cells/proteins that help bolster tumor endurance. The main counter acting agent (the counter CD20 rituximab) was endorsed in 1997 for lymphoma. 

5. Oncolytic infections can be altered to contaminate disease cells and cause them to blast (consider explosive!), which draws in the consideration of the insusceptible framework.
