      Unfortunately I don’t know a huge amount this drug so I can’t really say. There will never be one cure for cancer. Cancer is a name for a group of diseases and so it is going to be more about finding a cure for individual cancers. Pd-l1 has shown potential for certain types of lung cancers and melanoma. I think there is a big future for these ‘immune checkpoint blocker’ drugs though.
