Hi Your cousin is probably having stage 4 oral cavity cancer which is unfortunately non curable. Sorry for your cousin. But we can give palliative therapy. PEMBROLIZUMAB is a type of immunotherapy which is helpful if CPS score note than or equal to 20. Otherwise it is combined with chemotherapy. Also we can give immunotherapy as monotherapy if cancer has spread within 6 months of chemotherapy
