How It Works
Pembrolizumab is a monoclonal antibody that targets the PD-1 receptor on immune cells. By blocking this pathway, it prevents cancer cells from hiding from the immune system. This allows the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells more effectively, making it a key therapy in immuno-oncology.
