Gil80,

Using the SEARCH feature of this site on the term TECENTRIQ does not yield many hits - as is to be expected for a newer treatment. Your care team is going to be your best source for current information on the order and timing of the administration of multiple drugs because the current status of the patient is critical to such decisions.

Every new drug, such as Tecentriq bring another chance of positive treatment for patients who were not responsive to other treatments.

Best,
Jack
