Keytruda, an immuno-cancer drug, is expected to be able to be prescribed for esophageal cancer. According to related industries, the MFDS has finally reviewed the first round of local progressive or metastatic esophageal cancer (GEJ), in which PD-1 inhibitory immuno-cancer drug Keytruda (Pembrolizumab) of MSD is non-resectable. Permission is expected as early as the second quarter. Following colon cancer in June last year and triple negative breast cancer in July last year, the area of indications is rapidly expanding.

Keytruda's indications for esophageal cancer and gastroesophageal junction cancer were approved by the U.S. FDA in March last year and the European EMA in June last year.
