Clinical pattern of failure after a durable response to immune check inhibitors in non-small cell lung cancer patients

Abstract Although immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) can induce durable responses in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, a significant proportion of responders still experience progressive disease after a period of response. Limited data are available on the clinical patterns of acquired r...
