Dissociated responses at initial computed tomography evaluation is a good prognostic factor in non-small cell lung cancer patients treated with antiprogrammed cell death-1/ligand 1 inhibitors

Dissociated responses (DR) are phenomena in which some tumors shrink, whereas others progress during treatment of patients with cancer. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the frequency and prognosis of DR in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with anti-programmed cell death-1/ligand 1 (anti-PD-1/L1) inhibitors.
