Description
Opdivo is used to treat certain types of cancer, including melanoma (skin cancer), non-small cell lung cancer, bladder cancer, kidney cancer, squamous cell cancer of the head and neck, colorectal cancer, classical Hodgkin's Lymphoma, and urothelial carcinoma.
Opdivo is sometimes used if the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. For some types of cancer, this medicine is given when the cancer cannot be treated with surgery. For Hodgkin lymphoma, Opdivo is used if the condition has relapsed or progressed after stem cell transplant and treatment with brentixumab vedotin (Adcetris).
