Two centres experience of lung cancer resection in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer upon treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors: safety and clinical outcomes.

In this retrospective study, lung resection after immunotherapy (alone or in combination) is safe, although often requires complex surgery. Due to increasing number of clinical trials adopting immunotherapy in the neoadjuvant setting, it is likely that this therapy will become part of standard of care. Immunotherapy may also allow surgery to have a role for selected patients with advanced disease.
