What the trial is, and whether it could suit you
This is a prospective, randomized, controlled, multi-center phase III clinical trial that intends to evaluate the role of early cardiovascular intervention based on impedance cardiography in patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer receiving radical radiochemotherapy±immunotherapy.
