  •  “Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors (ICIs) were first approved for the treatment of aNSCLC in 2014, and since this time have seen rapid adoption in the marketplace. [This study] sought to describe the characteristics of patients with aNSCLC receiving ICIs in the real-world, as well as to examine treatment patterns and outcomes in the time since initial ICI approval”
