Summary

This study looked at whether people with non-small cell lung cancer prefer getting the drug atezolizumab as a shot under the skin (subcutaneous) or through an IV drip. About 179 patients tried both methods and reported which they liked better. The goal was to see if the shot is more convenient and preferred by patients and healthcare providers.
