Abstract
With 2.1 million unique cases of lung tumors and 1.8 million mortalities in China, advanced solid tumors continue to be the primary source of cancer mortality rates. Nearly two-thirds of lung cancer individuals display advanced-stage tumors at the time of testing, with a 5-year survival ratio of 7%. People with advanced solid tumors have an appalling outcome, with a 5-year total survival ratio of roughly 15%. Immunotherapy inhibitors, like those for programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), have ushered in a novel period in cancer diagnosis and therapy. Three resistant medications were authorized for advanced solid tumors: nivolumab, pembrolizumab, and atezolizumab. Durvalumab, an anti-PD-L1 antigen, is currently being researched. Durvalumab’s pharmacologic characteristics, clinical efficacy, and security as consolidation therapy in post-multimodal interventional therapies for people with advanced solid tumors are discussed in this paper. We have also shared details of two patients who were identified with advanced solid tumors and were provided with durvalumab medication. The performance measures like Progression-Free Survival (PFS), Overall Survival (OS), and Overall Response Rate (ORR) are also contrasted for different antibodies. The research findings imply that durvalumab consolidation therapy is a cost-efficient therapy, while health policymakers should address the financial consequences.
