Fox News
The cancer immunotherapy drug Keytruda, was approved Thursday by the FDA
Dr. Toni K. Choueiri, primary investigator of the study and director of the Lank Center for Genitourinary Oncology, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, told Fox News that doctors have tried for decades to experiment with immunotherapy as a way to decrease recurrence in kidney cancer.
"All these attempts have failed. Fortunately, we do have a drug now (pembrolizumab) which is an immune checkpoint blocker that works in such a patient population. The drug is safe and produces a 32 percent decrease in the risk of recurrence or death," Choueiri, who is also a professor at Harvard Medical School told Fox News.
