Pretherapeutic prognostic factors for survival under chemoimmunotherapy/immunotherapy of advanced NSCLC patients

A detailed prognostic factor analysis for overall survival and progression-free survival in selected groups of advanced non-small-cell lung cancer patients under chemo- or mono-immunotherapy identified five independent parameters: initial ECOG of zero, non-elevated LDH, non-elevated CRP, pretreatment PD-L1 positivity and absence of KEAP1-mutation. Our findings are especially helpful of estimating early treatment failure with aggressive lung cancer progression. This important investigation will be prospectively confirmed in a larger, more unselected population at our Cancer Centre.
