What is Involved?
If you choose to join this study, you will get a random assignment (fair, equal chance) to 1 of 3 groups:
<li>One group will receive only chemotherapy for 3 months</li>
<li>Another group will receive chemotherapy for 3 months followed by immunotherapy for up to 1 year</li>
<li>A third group will receive chemotherapy and immunotherapy together for 3 months followed by immunotherapy for up to 10 months</li></ul>
Regardless of group assignment, all study participants will:<ul>
<li>Get check-ups from your doctor every 3 months for the first 2 years after treatment</li>
<li>Get check-ups from your doctor every 6 months for the 3rd, 4th, and 5th years after treatment</li>
<li>Get a yearly check-up from your doctor for 5 more years once you hit the 5-year mark after treatment</li></ul>
Altogether, you will continue to see your doctor and study team for 10 years after treatment.
