It appears you may be referring to Tecentriq (atezolizumab), which is an immunotherapy drug used to treat lung cancer. Tecentriq can be used in different ways - either alone or in combination with chemotherapy, depending on your specific type of lung cancer and stage.

Clinical trials have shown that Tecentriq can help people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remain cancer-free for longer periods after chemotherapy. It has also been found to be beneficial when combined with chemotherapy for treating small cell lung cancer (SCLC). When combined with chemotherapy, Tecentriq has been shown to be safe even in advanced cases where cancer has spread to the brain. Like other immunotherapy drugs, it works through your body's immune system to fight cancer cells. Your healthcare team can determine if this treatment option is appropriate for your specific situation.
