First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study follows 500 lung cancer patients who received immunotherapy before their main treatment. Researchers want to see whether surgery (removing part or all of a lung) or non-surgery options like radiation lead to better long-term outcomes. The goal is to find the best approach after initial immunotherapy.
