Background: Worldwide, lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer morbidity and mortality. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for approximately 80 to 85% of all lung cancers. Recently, a few studies have reported the use of neoadjuvant immunotherapy or chemoimmunotherapy in NSCLC. However, no meta-analysis comparing neoadjuvant immunotherapy with chemoimmunotherapy has yet been reported. We perform a protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis to compare the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant immunotherapy and chemoimmunotherapy in NSCLC.
Methods: The statement of preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analysis protocols will be used as guidelines for reporting the present review protocol. Original clinical randomized controlled trials assessing the beneficial effects and safety of neoadjuvant immunotherapy and chemoimmunotherapy in NSCLC will be included. Databases searched include China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chinese Scientific Journals Database, Wanfang Database, China Biological Medicine Database, PubMed, EMBASE Database, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. Cochrane Collaboration's tool is used to assess the risk of bias in included randomized controlled trials. All calculations are carried out with Stata 11.0 (The Cochrane Collaboration, Oxford, UK).
Results: The results of this systematic review and meta-analysis will be publicly available and published in a peer-reviewed journal.
Conclusion: This evidence will be useful to practitioners, patients, and health policy-makers regarding the use of neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy in NSCLC.

Objective: The potential survival benefits of adjuvant immunotherapy for resectable NSCLC after neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy, and the optimal number of adjuvant immunotherapy cycles, remain uncertain. This study aims to evaluate the prognostic impact of adjuvant immunotherapy and determine the optimal number of cycles.
Methods: A total of 438 patients who received neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy between August 2019 and June 2022 across four hospitals were enrolled in this study, with a median follow-up time of 31.

Background And Objectives: Standard treatment of patients with stage II/III esophageal or gastroesophageal junction (E/GEJ) cancer involves neoadjuvant chemoradiation (nCRT), resection, and immunotherapy. Our trial evaluated the addition of perioperative avelumab to standard treatments.
Methods: Patients with resectable E/GEJ cancers received avelumab with nCRT and adjuvant avelumab after resection.

Background: Hormone receptor-positive (HR+)/humaal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) breast cancer, the most common breast cancer type, has variable prognosis and high recurrence risk. Neoadjuvant therapy is recommended for median-high risk HR+/HER2- patients. This phase II, single-arm, prospective study aimed to explore appropriate neoadjuvant treatment strategies for HR+/HER2- breast cancer patients.

Background: To date, there remains a paucity of comparative investigations pertaining to preoperative immunochemotherapy and conventional chemotherapy in the context of limited-stage small-cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC) patients. This study conducted a comprehensive comparative assessment concerning the safety and efficacy profiles of preoperative immunochemotherapy and chemotherapy in individuals diagnosed with stage I-IIIB SCLC.
Methods: This investigation collected 53 consecutive patients diagnosed with LS-SCLC spanning stage I to IIIB who underwent preoperative immunochemotherapy or conventional chemotherapy at our hospital from January 2019 to July 2021.
