Abstract

This study was conducted in the setting of advanced non–small-cell lung cancer in older patients. It is a multicenter retrospective analysis on very old persons that explores the efficacy and the safety of anti-programmed cell death protein 1 therapy. Older patients seem to tolerate immunotherapy as well as younger patients with comparable efficacy. This is a relevant message for everyday clinical practice.
