Neoadjuvant Sacituzumab Govitecan Plus Pembrolizumab in Resectable Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
The combination of neoadjuvant immunotherapy plus chemotherapy has recently been shown to improve survival outcome compared to chemotherapy alone and was recently approved for resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Despite so, recurrence risk of NSCLC after surgical resection remains high. Sacituzumab govitecan, a novel antibody drug conjugate, was demonstrated …
Studies of Phenotypic and Functional Characteristics of Circulating Neutrophil Subpopulations in Patients With Lung Cancer
The objective is to study the phenotypic, functional and metabolomic characteristics of neutrophils circulating subpopulations in lung cancer patients, and to compare them to a control group of healthy volunteers. A blood sample will be taken before the first treatment session for the lung cancer patient and a second blood …
