How OPDIVO^® works

Understanding how OPDIVO works can help you have better conversations with your healthcare team when discussing treatment decisions

See how OPDIVO helps your immune system fight cancer

OPDIVO is an immunotherapy, which works differently than chemotherapy.
Immunotherapies are treatments that work with the body’s immune system to fight disease. Watch the video below to learn more about how this treatment works.

OPDIVO can cause your T cells to attack healthy cells contained within organs and tissues in any area of your body and can affect the way these organs work. These problems can sometimes become serious or life-threatening and can lead to death, and may happen anytime during treatment or even after your treatment has ended. You may have more than one of these problems at the same time. Some of these problems may happen more often when OPDIVO is used in combination with another therapy.
