BTOG can confirm that NICE has recommended pembrolizumab, within its marketing authorisation, as an option for the adjuvant treatment of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with a high risk of recurrence after complete resection and platinum-based chemotherapy in adults. Pembrolizumab is only recommended if the company provides it according to the commercial arrangement.
