Advancements in cancer immunotherapy indicate a possibility of significantly lowering the cancer burden in South Africa. Among all cancer type, immunotherapy has worked best in the treatment of advanced melanoma and lung cancer. Nearly, 1 out of every 3 diagnosed cancer is melanoma.

Furthermore, it is estimated that 70% of all cancer cases will occur in developing countries by 2030. The alarming rise in cancer incidence rates has provoked global collaboration on cancer drugs and other therapies.

The introduction of immunotherapy has aided in saving 1 out of every 4 melanoma patients. Although the usage of immunotherapy is minimal as compared to chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery, we anticipate immunotherapy to emerge as the leading treatment strategy for cancer over the next few years.
