Immunotherapy

Much of Dr. Brahmer’s work is in the new and exciting field of immunotherapy for lung cancer. This emerging treatment protocol uses a person’s own immune response to treat their disease.

Clinical Trials

No treatment is approved by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) without first going through a clinical trial. Without clinical trials, there is no advancement in the science that produces life saving treatments.
