If you’ve been diagnosed with NSCLC, it's crucial you know all your options. IMFINZI is an
FDA-approved immunotherapy that could be an important part of your personalized treatment plan.

Doctors use a process called staging to assess the size of your cancer, where it’s located, and whether it’s spread to other parts of the body. Knowing the stage helps different specialists on your care team work together to find a treatment plan that’s right for you.
Ask your care team about your options
Even when surgery is an option, you may also be treated with immunotherapy and chemotherapy before surgery, then immunotherapy alone after. A medical oncologist can partner with your surgeon to choose a treatment plan. They can also let you know how long you'll be on treatment.
If surgery isn’t an option, your care team may use a combination of treatments to fight your cancer, including chemoradiation therapy (CRT) then immunotherapy. In fact, IMFINZI is the
#1 prescribed immunotherapy* following chemoradiation therapy for Stage 3 NSCLC that can't be removed by surgery.
During the staging process, your doctors will check to see whether your cancer has spread from where it started. If it has spread to other parts of the body, your care team may use more than one immunotherapy in combination with chemotherapy.
Your doctor may recommend surgery based on the size of your cancer and if it has spread. Ask your care team whether you need any tests to find out if surgery is an option for you.
Stage 2A-3B cancer that can be removed by surgery
#1 Prescribed Immunotherapy* FOR:
Stage 3 cancer—that can't be treated with surgery—following CRT
Stage 4 cancer that's spread to other parts of the body
*Based on US prescriptions from Jan 2019 to Jan 2026.
Important Safety Information
IMFINZI and IMJUDO are medicines that may treat certain cancers by working with your immune system. IMFINZI and IMJUDO can cause your immune system to attack normal organs and tissues in any area of your body and can affect the way they work. These problems can sometimes become severe or life-threatening and can lead to death. You can have more than one of these problems at the same time. These problems may happen anytime during treatment or even after your treatment has ended.
What are IMFINZI and IMJUDO?
IMFINZI and IMJUDO are prescription medications that may treat certain cancers.
IMFINZI is used to treat adults with a type of lung cancer called NSCLC.
IMFINZI is used to treat adults with a type of lung cancer called SCLC.
IMFINZI is used to treat adults with a type of cancer called BTC, including cancer of the bile ducts (cholangiocarcinoma) and gallbladder cancer. IMFINZI may be used in combination with chemotherapy medicines gemcitabine and cisplatin when your BTC has spread to nearby tissues (locally advanced), or has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic).
IMFINZI is used in combination with IMJUDO to treat adults with a type of liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma or uHCC).
IMFINZI is used in combination with the chemotherapy medicines carboplatin and paclitaxel followed by IMFINZI alone to treat adults with a type of uterine cancer called endometrial cancer that has spread (advanced) or has come back (recurred) and a laboratory test shows that your tumor is mismatch repair deficient (dMMR).
IMFINZI may be used in combination with the chemotherapy medicines gemcitabine and cisplatin prior to surgical removal of your bladder (neoadjuvant treatment) followed by IMFINZI alone after surgery (adjuvant treatment) to treat a type of bladder cancer called muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) that has spread into the muscle layer of the bladder but not to other parts of the body.
IMFINZI is used in combination with FLOT prior to and after surgery followed by IMFINZI alone to treat adults with a type of stomach cancer called gastric cancer (GC) or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (GEJC) that can be removed by surgery.
It is not known if IMFINZI and IMJUDO are safe and effective in children.
