This binding blocks the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway and furthermore, stimulates the immune response to fight against the cancer cells. This drug restores the antitumor T cell activity which attacks the cancer cells. This, as a result, stops the incontrollable growth and spreading of cancerous cells in the lungs.
