NICE

19 June 2025 - NICE has published final evidence-based recommendations on the use of atezolizumab (Tecentriq) for the adjuvant treatment of adults with resected non-small-cell lung cancer.

Atezolizumab can be used, within its marketing authorisation, as an option for the adjuvant treatment of adults with non-small-cell lung cancee after complete resection and platinum-based chemotherapy when:

  • There is a high risk of recurrence
  • 50% or more of tumour cells express PD‑L1
  • The cancer is not epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutant or anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) positive.

Atezolizumab can only be used if Roche provides it according to the commercial arrangement.
