Résumé

Age-related immune remodelling is thought to be associated with resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in cancer. Patients older than 70 years, representing >50% of the population with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) according to SEER database, are underrepresented in clinical trials exploring ICIs. The objective of this study was to determine if patients with NSCLC older than ≥70 years had inferior clinical outcomes with ICIs.
