What the trial is, and whether it could suit you
Surgical intervention remains the primary treatment option for early-stage lung cancer. With the proven efficacy of immunotherapy in the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), neoadjuvant immunotherapy has increasingly become a focal point of research. Blocking vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) not only inhibits the proliferation of vascular endothelial cells and the formation of new blood vessels but also improves the tumor microenvironment and enhances the infiltration of cytotoxic T lymphocytes within it. Simultaneously targeting the VEGF and PD-L1 pathways can create a synergistic anti-cancer effect. PM8002 injection is a bispecific antibody drug that targets both PD-L1 and VEGF, functioning as a dual-action agent that combines immune suppression and anti-angiogenesis. In patients with locally advanced stage II-III NSCLC, neoadjuvant therapy that concurrent
