Keytruda

Keytruda is a medication used in cancer treatment, specifically as an immunotherapy. It works by helping the body's immune system recognize and attack cancer cells. Keytruda targets a protein called PD-1, which cancer cells use to evade the immune response. By blocking this protein, Keytruda enhances the immune response against tumors, allowing the body to fight cancer more effectively. It's commonly used for various types of cancer, including melanoma, lung cancer, and more, and is administered through an injection in a clinical setting. Patients often receive it alongside other treatments for better outcomes.
