  • Dr. Leena Gandhi leads a discussion on the latest immunotherapy for lung cancer patients. #CRIsummit #immunotherapy #LungCancer
    www.cancerresearch.org/virtua...
    In this video, Dr. Gandhi addresses:
    - Different forms of lung cancer and different stages of disease
    - PD-1 or PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitors
    - Cancer immunotherapy clinical trials
    - Combination therapies, such as surgery + immunotherapy or radiation + immunotherapy
    - Cancer biomarkers, such as PD-L1 or TMB-H
    - Treatment regimen decisions, such as length of treatment
    - Partial vs complete response to treatment
    - Cancer immunotherapy side effects
    - Flu vaccine and cancer immunotherapy
    - Lung cancer care during COVID-19
    - Advice for those newly diagnosed with lung cancer
    As the most common cancer worldwide, lung cancer impacts approximately 2.1 million people each year. Hope for millions is on the horizon as the lung cancer death rate in the United States has dropped dramatically over the last few years with the introduction of new treatments, including immunotherapy. Immunotherapy for lung cancer, alone or in combination with conventional treatments, can significantly improve outcomes for lung cancer patients. www.cancerresearch.org/immuno...
    Dr. Leena Gandhi is the director of the Center for Cancer Therapeutic Innovation at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. She was previously the director of Thoracic Medical Oncology at NYU and the head of Immuno-Oncology Development at Eli Lilly. She was a lead investigator on a pivotal phase 1 clinical trial that showed the usefulness of using PD-L1 as a biomarker for patients receiving anti-PD-L1 checkpoint immunotherapy as well as the lead investigator of a pivotal phase 3 study showing the survival benefit of adding pembrolizumab (Keytruda®) to chemotherapy in the initial treatment of metastatic lung cancer. She continues to work on evaluations of potential biomarkers that can better extend and refine the use of immunotherapies and combination therapies to maximize benefit for the most patients.

    I had the misfortune of contacting lung cancer and is now undergoing this treatment since three months ago. Regarding side effects...the worst I find is dry moiuth and loss of appetite. The tongue has lost its sense of taste. Without appetite it would be hard to recover. This is one area the drug makers should focus on..
    Thank you

      @CancerResearchInstitute  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you for sharing your story. We hope that you and your care team have found a way to manage side effects. There are many ongoing clinical trials testing different dosages or treatment combinations to reduce side effects without reducing the effectiveness of these drugs. www.cancerresearch.org/en-us/immunotherapy-side-effects

    Dr. Gandhi, I can have some hope on your knowledge.
    I have Malignant Pleura Mesothelioma. I had Cryoablation overseas (not in the USA) and it seems that it worked, however, have other nodules growing and I am worried because in Australia Cryoablation is not used and I do not like chemotherapy because of side effects and the collateral damage it can cause to other organs, meaning...the treatment is as bad as the disease.
    So, I would like to ask you about the benefits of immunotherapy on its own, or, Photo Dynamic Therapy if you are aware of this treatment.
    Thanking you in advance for your precious time spent on your reply.

      @@CancerResearchInstitute. I don’t believe anything. The doctor says I have stage four lung cancer. I don’t think that people live off of this I think it’s just so that they can make money. I think this is all BS. I don’t think their tumors shrunk I don’t think that they live who knows it probably speeds up the death process. I’m an honest person I know how to tell the truth and most people don’t know how to tell the truth, I think they want to just sell that drug.
