All ReportsDatamonitor Healthcare Oncology Disease Analysis: Head and Neck Cancer
April 03, 2024
HNSCC tumors are highly immunogenic and have elevated expression of immune checkpoint modulators. As such, there has been much interest in the development of immunotherapies to allow for targeted treatment programs.
The first immunotherapies approved for recurrent/metastatic HNSCCs are anti-PD-1/PD-L1 immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) Keytruda (approved both as monotherapy and in combination with platinum chemotherapy) and Opdivo (approved only as monotherapy). In this setting, we expect that ICIs are used primarily for first-line patients, with Keytruda being favored over Opdivo.
