Med. 2024 Nov 8;5(11):1348-1350. doi: 10.1016/j.medj.2024.10.004.

Abstract

The ADRIATIC1 study marks a major advancement in limited-stage small cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC), showing that consolidation therapy with durvalumab after chemoradiation significantly improves overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). This establishes durvalumab as the new standard of care for LS-SCLC.
