New trial for lung cancer patients: SAKK 16/18

Immunotherapy and radiotherapy in stage III non-small cell lung cancer

Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related deaths. Patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer may be treated with curative intent. However, there is a high recurrence rate.

The SAKK 16/18 trial seeks to establish whether the prognosis can be improved by immunotherapy and radiotherapy given in addition to the standard treatment. 90 patients with stage III (locally advanced) NSCLC (N2) can join the trial.
