From WIVB News 4:

Dr. Saby George is one of the researchers leading nationwide studies of the immunotherapy called nivolumab or opdivo as a treatment for advanced kidney cancer. He says the results are promising. “This drug is not a traditional cancer drug this is different in terms of how it works.
