Relapse-free survival should not be used as a surrogate for overall survival in cancer trials testing adjuvant immunotherapy, according to researchers.
Combining SBRT With ICIs Did Not Slow Progression in Solid Tumors Trial
Adding stereotactic body radiation therapy to immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy was safe but failed to improve progression-free and overall survival.
