PD-L1 Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Market Projected to Reach USD 41.8 Billion by 2034
Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounting for nearly 85% of cases. Over the past decade, the treatment landscape has undergone a profound shift with the introduction of immune checkpoint inhibitors targeting PD-1/PD-L1 pathways. These therapies, such as pembrolizumab, nivolumab, atezolizumab, durvalumab, and avelumab, have redefined standards of care by significantly improving survival outcomes in biomarker-selected patients.Download Full PDF Sample Copy of Market Report @ https://exactitudeconsultancy.com/request-sample/71563
