ESMO 2023 | STRESS-LUNG-1: assessing the effect of stress on checkpoint inhibitor efficacy in NSCLC

Fang Wu, MD, Central South University, Hunan, China, discusses findings from the prospective, observational STRESS-LUNG-1 trial (NCT05477979), which assessed the effects of psychological stress on the efficacy of first-line immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Psychological stress was associated with lower survival, and clinicians should pay attention to the mental well-being of patients to improve their outcomes. This interview took place at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) 2023 Congress in Madrid, Spain.
