New combo treatment tested to shrink lung tumors before surgery

NCT ID NCT03237377

Summary

This small, early-stage study tested a new approach for patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer that could be removed with surgery. The goal was to see if giving two immunotherapy drugs along with radiation before the operation was safe and practical. Researchers wanted to learn if this 'immunoradiation' could shrink tumors and improve outcomes without causing too many side effects or delaying surgery.
