Ivan R. Gonzalez: Lung cancer effectiveness of immunotherapy in early stage

Ivan R. Gonzalez, Medical Oncologist at Comprehensive Oncology Center, Hospital Angeles Puebla, shared a post on X:

Advances in lung cancer effectiveness of immunotherapy in early stage!

  • Inhibition of immune checkpoint is essential in the multimodal treatment of early-stage NSCLC.
  • Combining neoadjuvant immunotherapy with platinum-based chemotherapy is recommended over chemotherapy alone.
  • This combination reduces the risk of surgical omission and enhances surgical outcomes.
  • The introduction of immunotherapy in early-stage NSCLC treatment has improved long-term survival, both event-free and disease-free.
  • Many unanswered questions persist regarding the optimal strategy, underscoring the importance of case-by-case discussions in multidisciplinary tumor committees.
