New hope: boosting immune system before lung cancer surgery

NCT ID NCT02259621

Summary

This study is testing whether giving immunotherapy drugs before surgery is safe and can help shrink tumors in patients with operable non-small cell lung cancer. It involves 39 participants who will receive one or two immunotherapy drugs, or a combination of immunotherapy and chemotherapy, prior to their planned surgery. The main goals are to check for safety and to see how much the treatment reduces cancer in the removed tumor.
