Summary

This study tests whether adding an immunotherapy drug (nivolumab) to precise, high-dose radiation (SABR) can better prevent lung cancer from coming back or spreading, compared to radiation alone. About 140 adults with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer or a single recurrence in the lung are participating. The goal is to see if the combination improves how long patients stay cancer-free.
