Patients with inoperable limited-stage small cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC) are treated with chemoradiation, but prognosis is limited. In a trial with 730 such patients who had not experienced progression after chemoradiation, the checkpoint inhibitor durvalumab improved median overall survival compared with placebo (56 versus 33 months), without added toxicity.
