Hello!
For stage 1 non-small cell lung cancer after surgery and chemotherapy, there is no need for additional treatment with new drugs such as: targeted drugs, biological drugs, immunological drugs,... You can do this. Autologous immunotherapy improves outcomes and reduces side effects caused by previous treatment. In addition, you need to follow up every 3 months for the first 2 years and every 6 months for the next 3 years. This will help in early detection when the disease returns. At each follow-up visit, the doctors will evaluate through clinical examination, imaging tests. Cancer indicators have no decisive value in detecting recurrent disease
