Bad reporting - fails to explain what Immunotherapy actually is, jargons all over. Can anyone explain in simple terms?

  Check out the cancer.gov page[1], which does a decent job of giving an overview. The drug in question, pembrolizumab, is a monoclonal antibody (you can tell because the name ends with '-mab'), and you can read more about how those work on this page[2].
