Immunotherapy Improves Survival of Patients with Locally Advanced Head and Neck Cancer
Washington University in St. Louis

An international phase 3 clinical trial led by Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and Dana-Farber Brigham Cancer Center shows that patients with certain locally advanced head and neck cancers benefited from the addition of the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab (brand name Keytruda) to standard-of-care therapy. Patients who received pembrolizumab saw greater tumor shrinkage prior to surgery and, on average, survived cancer-free almost two years longer than did patients who only received standard-of-care therapy.
