Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Targeted therapy is now the standard of care in driver-oncogene-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Its initial clinical effects are remarkable. However, almost all patients experience treatment resistance to targeted therapy. Hence, chemotherapy is considered a subsequent treatment option. In patients with driver-oncogene-negative NSCLC, combined immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and...
