Immune checkpoint inhibitors with or without chemotherapy are now standard of care for non-small cell lung cancer. However, the benefits of combination vs sequential therapy have not been fully explored. Here, the authors analysed 1,133 patient records and show combination therapy showed increased protection against early progression, but similar overall survival.
