Why Pembrolizumab Is Advised?

- Your cancer tests positive for PD-L1, a protein that helps cancer hide from the immune system.

- You have microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) or high tumor mutational burden (TMB-H) cancers, meaning your immune system can recognize them better once activated.

- Cancer has spread or returned after standard treatments such as surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy.

- You have multiple organ involvement but are still fit for immunotherapy.

At CION, before starting Pembrolizumab, every patient undergoes comprehensive biomarker testing and immune profiling to confirm suitability. This ensures the drug is prescribed only when it is scientifically justified and most likely to benefit you.
