Viennese team presents novel findings on NSCLC patients
Austrian researchers have found neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy leads to a high rate of pathologic complete remissions in cases of early-stage, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Radiological response inconsistent with pathological response: 69-year-old patient with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) received a neoadjuvant treatment with three cycles of immune-checkpoint inhibitor therapy plus chemotherapy (ICIT + C, carboplatin/pemetrexed/pembrolizumab). 12 weeks after treatment began, the patient showed complete pathologic response (ypTo, pNo) but only partial radiological response.
