Perioperative Targeted Therapy Or Immunotherapy In Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer

Targeted therapy and immunotherapy have changed the treatment modes for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), moving from second-line to first-line treatment and significantly extending patients' survival. Surgery and chemoradiotherapy remain the main treatment options for patients with locally advanced lung cancer, but recurrence and metastasis still occur in some patients. The survival rates of conventional perioperative chemotherapy among NSCLC patients have increased by only 5%. Therefore, more studies have begun to explore targeted and immune neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapies in early-stage and locally advanced NSCLC, and the relevant clinical research data have shown good efficacy and safety profiles. This article summarizes several clinical studies of critical importance.
