Summary Introduction
To review:
The process by which the antibodies against cancer cells can improve the delivery of chemotherapeutic drugs in the body.
Introduction
As cancer cells are very harmful to our body, thus it is necessary to detect it at an early stage. This allows its treatment to begin as early as possible because a delay in such situations can prove to be fatal. There are various conventional methods by which cancer can be treated, which include radiations, chemotherapy, or a surgery.
