Neoadjuvant immunotherapy followed by surgery with curative intent in 35 patients with advanced NSCLC: the retrospective experiences of a multidisciplinary team.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In recent years, neoadjuvant immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy has been used to treat locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC); however, no data are available to guide the selection of patients suitable for radical resection.
