HOPA 2018 | Progression is progression! The importance of monitoring the efficacy of immunotherapy in NSCLC
Recently, due to the revolution of immunotherapy in the treatment of non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), more drugs are being licensed to treat patients in the second-line setting. Although overall survival in these patients has been shown to increase, the same can not be said for the rate of progression-free survival.
