New hope: boosting immune system to fight lung cancer before surgery
NCT ID NCT02818920
Summary
This study tested whether giving an immunotherapy drug called pembrolizumab before and after surgery could help the immune system fight early-stage lung cancer. Thirty-five patients with operable lung cancer received two doses before surgery and four doses after. Researchers wanted to see if this approach was safe and how it affected immune cells in the tumor.
