abstract = {Immune checkpoint inhibitors have emerged as powerful new agents in the management of advanced, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In particular, monoclonal antibodies targeting the programmed death-1 (PD-1) receptor and its ligand, PD-L1, have transformed treatment approaches for patients with advanced lung cancer. In a series of pivotal studies, the PD-1 inhibitors nivolumab and pembrolizumab and the PD-L1 inhibitor atezolizumab produced signi cant improvements in overall survival compared to standard single- agent chemotherapy in previously treated patients (1-4).},
