The following evidence from the article was gathered to support the idea that the development of immunotherapy is groundbreaking in the area of cancer treatment.
cancer immunotherapy is an emerging branch of medicine that calls on our immune systems to act as intermediaries in the battle against a tumor.
cancer immunotherapies are less harmful to human tissue than traditional treatments like radiation and classic chemotherapy, which reduces the likelihood of unmanageable side effects.
today, immunotherapies based on allison and honjo's research are approved for treating melanoma, bladder cancer, colorectal cancer, liver cancer and lung cancer — though this represents a small slice of tumor-related diseases experienced by patients.
is this evidence adequate support for the idea? why or why not?
a
yes; it shows that immunotherapy is easier for patients to manage than traditional cancer treatments.
b
no; it does not go into detail about what kinds of unmanageable side effects other treatments create.
c
yes; it shows that immunotherapies are more successful at killing cancer cells quickly than other treatments.
d
no; it does not make a valid comparison between immunotherapy and traditional cancer treatments.
