Durvalumab after Chemoradiotherapy in Stage III Non–Small‐Cell Lung Cancer
Scott J. Antonia, et.al. N Engl J Med 2017; 377:1919‐1929 • Durvalumab had encouraging antitumor activity in early‐phase clinical study involving multiple advanced solid tumors, including stage IIIB or IV NSCLC
• Approved for patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma who had received platinum‐based chemotherapy
• Preclinical evidence suggesting that chemotherapy and radiotherapy may up‐regulate PD‐L1 expression in tumor cells

Herbst RS, Baas P, et.al. Lancet. 2016. Rittmeyer A, et.al. Lancet. 2017. • Durvalumab is standard maintenance treatment in stage III NSCLC
• Immunotherapy plays major role in stage IV NSCLC in the first line setting and also in recurrence THANK YOU
