Immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are now standard-of-care therapies for patients with advanced-stage non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) without a targetable driver alteration. Various ICIs or combination regimens have been approved in this setting, relative to chemotherapy, although no prospective data are available comparing the various ICI-based approaches. Here, the authors provide guidance on selecting the optimal ICI-based therapy and highlight several future research directions that will probably further improve the outcomes of patients with advanced-stage NSCLC.
