Résumé

Treatments of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC)-particularly of the squamous subtype-are limited. In this article, we describe the immunomodulatory environment in NSCLC and the potential for therapeutic targeting of the immune system through cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) and programmed death-1 (PD-1) immune-checkpoint pathway blockade.
