Atezolizumab, PD-L1.Abstract
Immunotherapy, especially immune checkpoint inhibitors have made a tremendous breakthrough in NSCLC management. Over last decades, ICIs targeting the PD-1, PD-L1 and CTLA-4 have exhibited promising antitumor efficacy and durable response including NSCLC patients with advanced or refractory, metastatic disease. We will provide an overview of mechanism of cancer development and how current available ICIs can be employed to improve patients’ outcome. This review also summarized the discovery process of atezolizumab which led to final FDA approval for its indication. Our major focus is on the significant survival benefit achieved by atezolizumab and taking into consideration of its advantages and disadvantages when we applied it into clinical setting. We hope to help patients and clinicians to better understand the mechanisms, clinical progress and future research direction of NSCLC atezolizumab in decision making.
