Keeping Lung Cancer Under Control: Bob's Immunotherapy Story

Bob was treated for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in a clinical trial with a checkpoint inhibitor called atezolizumab (Tecentriq). #CIM17 #CancerPatientStories #nsclc When Bob was diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), his wife Julia was so devastated that she cried for several months thinking about her life without him. Bob weighed all his options with his oncologist. After trying chemotherapy, Bob found another treatment that would give him hope—immunotherapy. He enrolled in a clinical trial of a treatment that helps T cells to recognize and attack cancer cells. Six years later, Bob's health is stable and he remains optimistic. Bob and Julia urge others to not give up hope because advances in cancer research are rapidly providing new treatment options. https://www.cancerresearch.org/patien...
