Successful treatment of locally advanced lung cancer using late concurrent chemoradiation therapy administered after immune checkpoint inhibitor plus platinum chemotherapy

Abstract Concurrent chemoradiation therapy (CRT) is the standard of care for patients with unresectable stage II/III lung cancer. However, systemic chemotherapy is required for patients who are ineligible for radical radiation therapy. There is little evidence to date for the safety and efficacy of...
