A more efficient drug detected than cancer - treatment chemotherapy

A new lung cancer drug can extract “out of play” chemotherapy. From clinical tests conducted at a hospital in Sydney, it proved to be three times more effective than chemotherapy, and it does not cause any side effects.

Doctors at Westmedia Hospital in Sydney say the keytruda drug developed cancer cells and reduced tumors to patients who were in the final stages of the disease.

Now we have a drug that added hope to the treatment of lung cancer in that future”, said associate professor of oncology, Rina Hui, for ABC.
This drug, tested in patients in 16 different countries, prohibited the spread of cancer to almost half of patients a year later, becoming three times more effective than chemotherapy.

Cancer in patients involved in the study was beginning to spread outside the lungs.
Professor Hiu shows that patients in the fourth stage of cancer who took the drug “Keytruda” had 70% more chances of surviving the next 12 months, without having to have chemotherapy.
