Immunotherapy in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: Shifting Prognostic Paradigms
Immune checkpoint inhibitors have shown efficacy in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in the adjuvant, first- and subsequent-line settings. In metastatic disease, they provide hope of durable response where “best-case” scenario has long been inadequate. This pro...
