FDA approves new drug for lung cancer


The US Food and Drug Administration has approved the use of tecentriq or atezolizumab from the Swiss pharmaceutical company (Roche) as an adjunctive treatment, after surgery and chemotherapy with platinum, in adults with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) stage II and II. Determined by an Food and Drug Administration-approved test, the company said in a statement.

The results showed that treatment with Tecentriq, after surgery and platinum-based chemotherapy, reduced the risk of disease recurrence or death by 34% in people with stage 2 and stage 2 lung cancer, compared to the best supportive care.
