The first PD-1 inhibitor approved to treat multiple tumor types in earlier stages of cancer1
Give appropriate patients an earlier opportunity to start on OPDIVO® therapy1
Immunotherapy has offered hope for patients across multiple tumor types. Now, FDA-approved use of immunotherapy in earlier stages of cancer is growing.1-4 Read on to learn more about how you can start OPDIVO earlier in the treatment continuum for appropriate patients.

NOW APPROVED
Perioperative NSCLC
OPDIVO, in combination with platinum-doublet chemotherapy, is indicated for the neoadjuvant treatment of adult patients with resectable (tumors ≥4 cm or node positive) NSCLC and no known EGFR mutations or ALK rearrangements, followed by single-agent OPDIVO as adjuvant treatment after surgery.1
Neoadjuvant treatment of resectable NSCLC
OPDIVO, in combination with platinum-doublet chemotherapy, is indicated as neoadjuvant treatment of adult patients with resectable (tumors ≥4 cm or node positive) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).1
Adjuvant treatment of UC
OPDIVO, as a single agent, is indicated for the adjuvant treatment of adult patients with urothelial carcinoma (UC) who are at high risk of recurrence after undergoing radical resection of UC.1
Adjuvant treatment of melanoma
