Summary

This study looks at whether adding electro-acupuncture to standard immunotherapy and chemotherapy can help people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer live longer without their disease getting worse. About 424 participants will receive either real or sham acupuncture alongside their first few cycles of treatment. The goal is to see if acupuncture improves how well the cancer responds and reduces side effects.
