Immunochemotherapy includes pembrolizumab for stage IIIB lung squamous cell carcinoma: a case report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Lung cancer is a malignant tumor with high morbidity and mortality, and its incidence continues to increase. With the emergence of new drugs and treatment modalities, the prognosis of lung cancer patients has improved to some extent. However, the prognosis of initially unresectable, locally advanced lung cancer with immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy remains uncertain. Case Description: We report a case of a 57-year-old man diagnosed with stage IIIB la with negative targeted therapy-related gene mutation and a 2% programmed death 1/programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-1/PD-L1) expression level, who underwent transformation treatment with pembrolizumab after multidisciplinary consultation. Lung images indicated partial response after 4 cycles. However, preoperative examination found hypothyroidism considered the immune-related, and giving hormone replacement treatment after the endocrinology department consultation. Thyroid function improved after 1 month. The patient successfully underwent single-hole thoracoscopic radical lung cancer (left whole lung resection + mediastinal lymph node dissection). Postoperative pathology was consistent with major pathological remission (MPR). The patient was scheduled to receive 8 cycles of single-drug maintenance therapy with pembrolizumab after surgery. To date, no tumor recurrence and metastasis have been found at follow up, and maintenance treatment continues to improve. Conclusions: This case reminds us that the induction treatment pattern of pembrolizumab combined with chemotherapy for subsequent conversion surgery can be a potentially curative treatment option for locally advanced stage IIIB patients. The monitoring of thyroid-related indicators is important during immunotherapy, especially in the first 1-2 months. The cause of thyroid dysfunction should be detected early so that it can be treated promptly to improve the prognosis of the patient. Pembrolizumab in combination with paclitaxel and platinum drugs provides a new option for patients with locally advanced stage IIIB lung squamous cell carcinoma who eager to undergo radical surgery.
