Have just been prescribed a course of Libtayo for metisized squamous cell carcinoma wondered if anyone here had any experience with this medication?

    Libtayo (cemiplimab)

    I trust by now you have seen positive results.  The great worry is that only slightly less than 50% of patients are responders.

    i am very fortunate to be a responder, and I am having--knock on wood--some very positive success on Libtayo (cemiplimab) on an 11cm metastasized squamous cell tumor on my psoas muscle.  As of month six scan, it has shrunk "significantly" to around 3 cm.  An additional tumor in my right axillary has essentially disappeared.  My oncologist plans to continue treatment until March 2021 when he will pause treatment, and we'll begin monitoring.

    PS. If, by chance, you are not too familiar with advances in immunotherapy, this is an excellent place to start, a biography of their inventor, Dr. Jim Allison.
