Abstract
Purpose of review: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and targeted therapies have changed the landscape of management of nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) dramatically. Whereas ICIs in NSCLC without specific driver mutations are well established it is unclear what the place of ICIs in driver mutation-positive NSCLC is. This review summarizes the current view on the use of ICIs in driver mutation-positive NSCLC.
Recent findings: Immune checkpoint inhibition in combination with chemotherapy (and antiangiogenesis) in recurrent driver mutation-positive NSCLC after tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy may be effective.
Summary: Currently the role of immune checkpoint inhibitors in driver mutation-positive NSCLC is limited. They can in combination be applied in second and later line settings if no specific therapy is available.
期刊介绍:
With its easy-to-digest reviews on important advances in world literature, Current Opinion in Oncology offers expert evaluation on a wide range of topics from sixteen key disciplines including sarcomas, cancer biology, melanoma and endocrine tumors. Published bimonthly, each issue covers in detail the most pertinent advances in these fields from the previous year. This is supplemented by annotated references detailing the merits of the most important papers.
