Abstract:
Lung cancer is a malignant tumor with high incidence rate and mortality worldwide. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common malignancy. The traditional treatment of NSCLC mainly depends on chemical drugs. In recent years, immunotherapy has become a hot spot in the treatment of NSCLC and made remarkable progress. The overall objective remission rate of immunotherapy for NSCLC patients is about 20%. A large number of new biological immune agents have been developed and applied in clinic. Among them, immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) has the widest application and the most positive effect on NSCLC. This paper summarizes the research status and progress of immunotherapy biomarkers of NSCLC in recent years, with the hope of improving the accuracy of immunotherapy and better guiding individualized treatment of NSCLC patients.
