• a kind of lung cancer called non-small cell lung cancer
• a kind of cancer called classical Hodgkin lymphoma
• a kind of cancer called bladder cancer (urothelial carcinoma)
• a kind of head and neck cancer called head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
• a kind of kidney cancer called renal cell carcinoma
• a kind of cancer that is determined to be microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) or mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) in the colon or rectum (called colorectal cancer), uterus (called endometrial cancer), stomach (called gastric cancer), small bowel (called small intestine cancer), or bile duct or gallbladder (called biliary tract cancer)
• a kind of cancer called oesophageal carcinoma
• a kind of breast cancer called triple-negative breast cancer
• a kind of uterine cancer called endometrial carcinoma
• a kind of cancer called cervical cancer

People get KEYTRUDA after they have had surgery to remove melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer or renal cell carcinoma to help prevent their cancer from coming back (adjuvant therapy). People get KEYTRUDA before surgery (neoadjuvant therapy) to treat triple-negative breast cancer and then continue taking KEYTRUDA after surgery (adjuvant therapy) to help prevent their cancer from coming back.

• Withdraw the required volume up to 4 mL (100 mg) of concentrate and transfer into an intravenous bag containing sodium chloride 9 mg/mL (0.9%) or glucose 50 mg/mL (5%) to prepare a diluted solution with a final concentration ranging from 1 to 10 mg/mL. Each vial contains an excess fill of 0.25 mL (total content per vial 4.25 mL) to ensure the recovery of 4 mL of concentrate. Mix diluted solution by gentle inversion.
