Abstract

For fit patients with resectable NSCLC, surgery +/- adjuvant chemotherapy is standard of care. Despite this curative intent approach, rates of distant metastases are still substantial. To improve disease control, neoadjuvant administration of immune checkpoint inhibitors appears promising. Combining immune checkpoint inhibitors (anti PD-L1 and anti-CTLA-4) with chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy (RT) appears to further improve clinical efficacy, without unacceptable excess in toxicity. We hypothesize that neoadjuvant short course dual immunotherapy and medium dose RT improves both local and systemic disease control in resectable NSCLC with acceptable toxicity.
