It uses specific molecules on immune cells and other cells to slow down immune activity when needed. In cancer care, Immune checkpoint pathways are commonly discussed because many tumors use them to evade immune attack. They are also the biological targets of a major class of immunotherapy medicines called checkpoint inhibitors."}
