Immunotherapy is a cancer treatment that uses a patient\u2019s immune system to fight cancer, and many doctors are feeling optimistic about its benefits for mesothelioma.<\/p>\n<p>By continuing to explore immunotherapy treatments in <a href=\"\/treatment\/clinical-trials\/\">clinical trials<\/a>, Dr. Stevenson hopes to improve the prognosis (health outcome) and quality of life of mesothelioma patients.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s been particularly encouraged by the results from the CheckMate 743 clinical trial, which revealed that the combination of the immunotherapies <a href=\"\/treatment\/immunotherapy\/opdivo-yervoy\/\">Opdivo\u00ae and Yervoy\u00ae<\/a> helped patients live an average of 3 months longer than chemotherapy.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIt turns out that as we look closer at the CheckMate 743 trial, immunotherapy probably works better in some patients than chemotherapy. We don&#8217;t interpret this trial as immunotherapy replacing chemotherapy, but as an additional treatment.\u201d<br \/>\n<strong>\u2013 Dr. James Stevenson, mesothelioma specialist<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Get Connected to Dr. James Stevenson<\/h2>\n<p>A mesothelioma diagnosis can be daunting, but seeking medical care from an experienced mesothelioma doctor can make all the difference.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. James Stevenson is accepting new patients with pleural or peritoneal mesothelioma and can help you access life-changing treatment.<\/p>\n<p>Connect with Dr. Stevenson and other top mesothelioma specialists by calling <strong><a href=\"tel:+18666088933\" title=\"Click to call (866) 608-8933\" class=\"in-content-tel-link\" data-ce-category=\"Click to Call\" data-ce-label=\"(866) 608-8933\">(866) 608-8933<\/a><\/strong> or using our <strong><a href=\"\/get-matched\/\">Free Doctor Match<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About Dr. James Stevenson Dr. James Stevenson has been in practice for over 20 years and has treated many patients with mesothelioma.
