The introduction of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) into the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has changed the treatment paradigm and become the standard of care in advanced stage lung cancer. Recent and ongoing efforts to replicate the remarkable success of immunotherapy with ICIs and biomarker-guided targeted therapy in advanced/metastatic NSCLC to the management of early-stage NSCLC have broken through the lull in the therapeutic landscape in this setting. The ICIs atezolizumab, durvalumab, and nivolumab have gained FDA approval for early-stage NSCLC indications. These additions to the treatment toolbox offer opportunities to delay recurrence and improve clinical outcomes for patients with this challenging malignancy.
Hear Drs. Gainor and Sands discuss their approach to these patients in this interactive video presentation that will focus on improving the utilization of immunotherapy for neoadjuvant and adjuvant treatment, including:
