Lung Cancer Patients Fair Better with Immune Therapy

Description

According to a new report, lung cancer patients live longer while on immune therapy. Using a combination of immunotherapy drugs, doctors found that pre-treating lung cancer patients before surgery can help eat away at tumors, while helping patients recover from the affects of chemotherapy. A lung cancer specialist at Yale Cancer Center, who was not involved with the study, stated the results are so startling, every lung cancer patient should be given the option of immunotherapy first. One study conducted at Johns Hopkins medical school treated 21 patients with immune therapy, and a year later, only 3 had died from cancer, while 16 were in remission.
