Immunotherapie bij gemetastaseerd niet-kleincellige longkanker: diverse patiënten, diverse mogelijkheden

Verschillende studies tonen aan dat immunotherapie – als monotherapie of in combinatie met chemotherapie – de overlevingskansen van gemetastaseerd niet-kleincellig longkanker (NSCLC) patiënten kan verbeteren. Diverse patiëntengroepen met gemetastaseerd NSCLC komen in aanmerking voor deze innovatieve behandeling, ongeacht de PD-L1 expressie, hersen- of levermetastasen en leeftijd.1,2,3


NSCLC = non-small cell lung cancer; PD-L1 TPS = programmed death-ligand 1 tumor proportion score
