AusDoc brings you the latest news from the European Society for Medical Oncology virtual congress 2020.

Two phase 2 trials of preoperative immune checkpoint therapy have shown that it does not compromise surgery in patients with early non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Results of the two French trials — IONESCO and PRINCEPS — were reported at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) virtual congress 2020.

In IONESCO, 46 patients with early stage NSCLC were treated with three courses of the programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitor, durvalumab (750mg on days one, 15 and 29).
