Aldara (imiquimod) is not a form of chemotherapy; it is an immune response modifier. It works by stimulating the body's immune system to produce interferon and other cytokines, which help fight against certain skin conditions like actinic keratosis, superficial basal cell carcinoma, and external genital warts. Unlike traditional chemotherapy, which directly targets and kills cancer cells, Aldara enhances the body's natural defenses.
