In Head and neck cancer

Head and neck cancer includes cancer of the mouth, nose, sinuses, or throat.

It is a potent medicine with significant potential side effects, so you should discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor before starting treatment.

Mechanism Of Action Of Nivolumab 100mg Injection:

Nivolumab 100mg Injection is an anti-cancer medication. It works by blocking a protein (PD-1) on the surface of certain immune cells called T-cells. This action activates the T-cells to locate and kill cancer cells.

Important safety warning: Because Nivolumab works by activating the immune system, it can cause the immune system to attack healthy organs and tissues (immune-related adverse events). This can affect the lungs (pneumonitis), colon (colitis — diarrhea, abdominal pain), liver (hepatitis — yellowing of skin/eyes, dark urine), kidneys, hormone-producing glands (thyroid, adrenal, pituitary), skin, and other organs. These reactions can occur at any time during or after treatment, and can be serious or life-threatening if not caught early. Report any new or worsening symptoms to your doctor promptly — early treatment, often with corticosteroids, is important to manage these reactions.
