Roy S. Herbst, MD, PhD, chief of Medical Oncology, Yale Cancer Center and Smilow Cancer Hospital at Yale-New Haven, discusses immunotherapy in squamous and nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Herbst says it is quite clear that immunotherapy is becoming a new paradigm to treat these tumors.
