Immunotherapy is a relatively new form of treatment that focuses on tricking the body's immune system into attacking cancer cells. POISON's co-headlining tour with DEF LEPPARD and special guest TESLA will kick off on April 8 in Manchester, New Hampshire and will wrap on June 25 in Indianapolis, Indiana. POISON and DEF LEPPARD first hit the road together back in 2009, and then again three years later.
