Patients with advanced non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who received immunotherapy, in particular immune checkpoint inhibitors in the first-line setting, lived longer than those who received chemotherapy, according to the findings of a meta-analysis and individual patient-level study recently published in JAMA Network Open.
“The findings of [the study] are well established over the last 3 to 5 years from multiple studies,” James Herman, MD, a medical oncologist at UPMC Hillman Cancer Center told Cancer Network. “It’s something we already knew.”
