ABSTRACT
Immunotherapy in oncology has a more extensive history than is commonly perceived. Rooted in the observations and experiences of multiple physicians in the late 19th century, immunological interventions are currently integral to the oncological therapeutic repertoire. This article seeks to delineate the evolution of cancer immunotherapy, tracing its inception in 1891 with the pioneering work of an American surgeon, William B. Coley, who achieved the first documented cure of a cancer case involving a malignant head and neck tumor. The narrative extends to encompass successive historical breakthroughs and prospective developments in this dynamic field.
