Jimmy Carter credits the new cancer drug Keytruda for shrinking his brain tumors completely. It’s one more possible victory for the newest class of cancer drugs that empower the immune system to fight off tumors.
But cancer experts note that it’s not at all clear that the drug itself is what shrank Carter’s tumors. The former president was also treated with radiation to his brain and had a large tumor on his liver removed.
While most immune therapy drugs boost the immune system so that it can battle the cancer, Keytruda was the first drug to take a different approach that disrupts a trick tumors use to hide from immune cells.
