> this immunotherapy essentially works by turning off some of the immune system's "don't attack your own body" safeties That sounds like checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy. Others like CAR-T may have fewer side effects, since they're just augmenting your T cells with a manufactured supply that is primed to attack a specific target. CAR-T is a lot more expensive for now but over time such "precision" immunotherapies may become mass produced and cheaper and we'll be able to make the immune system do what we want with fewer side effects.
