Real-World data: does adding immunotherapy before lung surgery improve outcomes?
NCT ID NCT07169708
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study reviews medical records of 100 adults in Taiwan with resectable non-small cell lung cancer who received nivolumab (an immunotherapy) combined with chemotherapy before surgery. Researchers want to see if this approach helps shrink tumors completely and delays cancer return, and whether it is safe. The study does not give any new treatment—it only looks at data from routine care.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Aged 18 years and older 2. Patients who are diagnosed with pathologically confirmed, non-metastatic, resectable NSCLC 3. Patients who have received at least one cycle of neoadjuvant nivolumab combined with chemotherapy since the approval of the regimen in February 2023, and who have at least one imaging assessment of EFS and surgical status recorded. For patients who underwent surgery, at least one pathological report is required. 4. Patients who have been followed up for at least 12 months (from first dose of neoadjuvant therapy to last medical record date at study site), exceptional case as follows: * Patients who expired within 12 months of follow-up * Patients who experience disease progression or recurrence but continue to follow-up 5. Participants with histologically confirmed Stage II-III NSCLC (per the 8th International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer) who are considered resectable. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients with distant metastasis (M1 disease according to the eighth edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer \[AJCC\] cancer staging manual) prior to neoadjuvant therapy 2. Patients with N3 disease per AJCC 8th edition 3. Patients with known EGFR mutations or ALK translocation 4. Patients who have received any prior systemic therapy for NSCLC 5. Patients with a history of previous cancers or other concurrent malignancies within 10 years before the first dose of nivolumab
