Currently, the established approach for addressing stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) involves combining chemotherapy with immunotherapy.

Therefore, this study aimed to study the significance of postponing immunotherapy on pertinent patient outcomes.
Vázquez-Urrutia et al. (2024) studied this question.
