Benefits of Imfinzi Injection

In Treatment of Non-small cell lung cancer

Imfinzi Injection enhances overall survival and progression-free survival by enabling the immune system to better recognize and attack cancer cells. Patients receiving Imfinzi Injection after chemoradiation therapy experience longer periods without disease progression compared to those not on the drug.

In Treatment of Liver cancer

In liver cancer, especially hepatocellular carcinoma, Imfinzi Injection offers benefits when combined with other treatments like bevacizumab. This combination improves overall survival and delays disease progression. This provides a valuable option for patients with advanced or unresectable liver cancer.

In Treatment of Endometrial cancer

For endometrial cancer, particularly in cases that are recurrent or have spread, Imfinzi Injection works by boosting the immune system’s ability to fight cancer cells. This leads to improved response rates. Additionally, it results in longer progression-free survival in patients who may have exhausted other treatment options.

In Treatment of Biliary tract cancer

Imfinzi Injection, when combined with chemotherapy, has been shown to extend survival in patients with advanced biliary tract cancer. The drug helps in shrinking tumors and delaying the progression of the disease, offering a new option for a cancer type that previously had limited effective treatments.
