What types of cancer does keytruda treat?



Keytruda is a medication used to treat various types of cancer. It is an immunotherapy drug that works by blocking the activity of a protein called PD-1, which helps the immune system recognize and attack cancer cells. Keytruda is used to treat several types of cancer, including melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer, head and neck cancer, classical Hodgkin lymphoma, urothelial carcinoma, microsatellite instability-high cancer, gastric cancer, cervical cancer, and primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma [3].
