Abstract

The quality of life and symptom experience for metastatic lung cancer patients treated with immunotherapy or chemoimmunotherapy in routine care has not been described. In our survey of 60 metastatic lung cancer patients receiving these treatments, 20% to 40% reported moderate symptoms (eg, rash, muscle ache). Patient-reported outcomes need to be monitored in clinical practice, especially for patients with worse physical function.
