Resistance to Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Treatment in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Clinical Trials: A Perspective From Lung-MAP Investigators

Expert consensus identifies key mechanisms driving immunotherapy resistance in lung cancer and proposes trial designs to overcome them, guiding future research strategy.
