Two years of immunotherapy may be perfectly fine for this approach with non-small cell lung cancer.

I noticed that nowhere in the article do they give an actual life expectancy expressed in number of years.

My wife has been getting immunotherapy for a cancer in her lungs for 3 and 1/2 years now. The doctor told her the clinical trials only went for 2 years. She is in Uncharted Territory, but he said that he will give her the immunotherapy indefinitely as long as it is helping her.

The main concern in the article appears to be the increased cost to the Healthcare System. My main concern is my wife’s increased lifespan.

More of reasoning for limiting medical care for folks that aren’t expected to be around much longer? Maybe we are heding to Canada’s “If your sick, suicide is just another form of medical care”.
