At his press conference today to discuss his cancer and treatment, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter mentioned four scheduled cancer treatments. As a clarification, these four treatments involve the use of the drug pembrolizumab at three-week intervals. Another treatment is with radiation and that treatment took place today. There could be other radiation treatments, if needed, but none are now scheduled.
