Summary

This study tested whether the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab could help prevent lung cancer from coming back in people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer or high-risk lung nodules.

The goal was to see if boosting the immune system could stop the cancer from growing or spreading.
