First seen Apr 26, 2026 · Last updated Apr 29, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study tests whether a blood test that detects tiny bits of cancer DNA can help doctors decide who needs extra immunotherapy after lung cancer surgery. About 80 people with stage IB-IIIA non-small-cell lung cancer will receive toripalimab only if their blood test shows signs of remaining cancer. The goal is to see if this approach works as well as giving everyone the full treatment, while possibly reducing side effects and unnecessary medication.
