Objective  To systematically evaluate the effect and safety of neoadjuvant PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors combined with chemotherapy for resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods  The PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, and Wanfang data were searched by computer to identify relevant studies on anti PD-1 /PD-L1 combined with chemotherapy for resectable NSCLC from inception to March 2023. Two authors independently screened the literature, extracted the data, and evaluated the risk of bias in the included studies. The single-arm study was evaluated for quality using the methodological index for non-randomized studies (MINORS). Meta-analysis was conducted by RevMan 5.4 software. Results  Twenty-six studies with 965 patients were included in this meta-analysis. MINORS scores of single-arm studies were ≥12 points. The meta-analysis results showed that the pooled pathologic complete response, major pathologic response, and objective response rates as well as partial response, surgical rate and R0 surgical resection rate of neoadjuvant PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors combined with chemotherapy were 39% [RD=0.39, 95%CI (0.31, 0.47) ], 59% [RD=0.59, 95%CI (0.53, 0.65) ], 72% [RD=0.72, 95%CI (0.65, 0.80) ], 62% [RD=0.62, 95%CI (0.56, 0.69) ], 86% [RD=0.86, 95%CI (0.81, 0.92) ], and 94% [RD=0.94, 95%CI (0.92, 0.97) ], respectively. In terms of safety, the rate of adverse events (AEs) was 65% [RD=0.65, 95%CI (0.52, 0.78) ], and the rate of grade 3 to 5 AEs was 16% [RD=0.16, 95%CI (0.10, 0.23) ]. Conclusion  The combination of neoadjuvant PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors with chemotherapy has good efficacy and safety in the treatment of patients with resectable NSCLC.
