Expert Insights on Adjuvant Immunotherapy in Unresectable Stage-III NSCLC

Author(s)Gregory Gan, MD, PhD, Alykhan Nagji, MD, Krishna Reddy, MD, PhD

A panel of oncology experts examine the role of consolidation immunotherapy in patients receiving concurrent chemoradiotherapy for unresectable Stage-III NSCLC, discussing 5-year survival outcomes from the PACIFIC trial, the impact on institutional treatment approaches, criteria for selecting patients for consolidation durvalumab, the significance of baseline scans, as well as exploring real-world evidence on consolidation durvalumab.
