Is immunotherapy effective for my wife’s PD-L1 lung cancer?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I would suggest going with the Abraxane or Avastin plus Nivolumab combination for the following reasons: Using immunotherapy now, as you do not want to miss the window of opportunity. Being targeted agents, side effects are not going to be a major issue compared to conventional chemotherapy drugs. In my personal experience, Docetaxel in the second-line setting is too much for patients, and quality of life takes a bit of a hit. Targeting VEGF and PD1, plus Abraxane, gives the best possible chance for an optimal outcome.

Please find out what modality is being planned to address the axilla, as not all patients need axillary clearance. After breast conservation surgery, radiotherapy is a standard treatment done over three weeks to reduce the risk of future recurrence.
