Immunotherapy and Targeted Therapy · NCLEX Exam

When combining immunotherapy and targeted therapy, one major rationale is:

  1. They reliably cancel out each other's therapeutic effects
  2. To exploit synergy by attacking cancer via different mechanisms
  3. Immunotherapy works only after targeted therapy has failed
  4. Targeted therapy alone always produces a complete cure
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: To exploit synergy by attacking cancer via different mechanisms

Combining immunotherapy and targeted therapy may improve outcomes by using immune-mediated attack plus inhibition of cancer growth pathways.
