Study shows that levels of protein detected in head and neck tumours can be used to personalise patients’ medicine

Medical Xpress reports on an Institute of Cancer Research, London, study showing that levels of the protein PD-L1 detected in head and neck tumours can be used to personalise medicine.  Depending on PD-L1 levels, patients should receive personalised medicine of either chemotherapy with or without cetuximab, pembrolizumab in combination with chemotherapy, or pembrolizumab alone.
