How Libtayo Works
Libtayo is a medication used in the treatment of certain types of cancer, particularly advanced or metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) and advanced basal cell carcinoma (BCC). It belongs to a class of drugs known as checkpoint inhibitors. Libtayo works by targeting and blocking a protein called programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1) on certain immune cells, allowing the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells more effectively. By enhancing the body’s immune response against cancer, Libtayo helps to slow down or stop the growth and spread of cancerous cells.Side Effects of Libtayo
