The standard treatment for stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is platinum-based concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT), followed by durvalumab (anti-programmed death ligand-1 [PD-L1] antibody) maintenance therapy [1]. However, the 5-year survival rate for unresectable NSCLC remains unsatisfactory...
