At ninety-one, former president Jimmy Carter became the most well-known beneficiary of a new type of immunotherapy that all but cured him of an advanced form of cancer that doctors had initially predicted would kill him in a matter of months. The approach, which boosts the bodys natural defenses to fight disease, is more effective than conventional radiation, surgery, and chemo. Many specialists believe it represents the greatest medical advance in decades.

For nearly a century, the idea of enlisting the natural power of the bodys immune system to combat cancer and other illnesses has been the dream of conventional doctors and alternative medicine practitioners alike. Now that dream is becoming a reality with the advent of immune-boosting drugs like Keytruda, the medication used to eradicate former president Jimmy Carters cancer in 2016.
