RESUMO

BACKGROUND/AIM: Cemiplimab in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with PD-L1 (programmed death ligand type 1) expression ≥50% showed a significant improved overall survival (OS) with increasing expression of PD-L1. To our knowledge there exist no similar data published for pembrolizumab regarding the increased OS in relation to the PD-L1 expression. Therefore, the objective of our study was to determine whether improvement in OS reflects increased expression levels of PD-L1 (≥50%) in patients with NSCLC. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Retrospective data from 9 Czech and 1 Polish comprehensive oncology Centers were used. All patients with stage IV NSCLC and PD-L1 expression ≥50% treated with pembrolizumab in daily practice were included. The groups of patients according to the expression of PD-L1 were determined as follows: PD-L1 50-59%, 60-69%, 70-79%, 80-89% and 90-100%. The log-rank test and the Cox regression model were used to compare survival between study groups. RESULTS: A total of 617 patients were included in the study. We did not observe a statistically significant difference in OS between groups of patients with different levels of PD-L1 expression in the pooled comparison (p=0.445). Furthermore, we did not observe a statistically significant difference even when comparing OS in patients with PD-L1expression of 50-59% (reference) with the group of other patients according to the level of expression of PD-L1 in the Cox regression model including the effect covariates. CONCLUSION: PD-L1 expression showed no significant effect on OS in patients with NSCLC with PD-L1≥50% treated with pembrolizumab.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Complex networks of chemokines are part of the immune reaction targeted against tumor cells. Chemokines influence cancer growth. It is unclear whether the concentrations of chemokines at the time of NSCLC (non-small cell lung cancer) diagnosis differ from healthy controls and reflect the extent of NSCLC. AIMS: To compare chemokine concentrations (CCL2, CCL8, CXCL12) in the plasma of patients with resectable NSCLC to those without cancer. To determine whether the chemokine concentrations differ relative to the stage of disease. METHODS: Sixty-nine patients undergoing surgery for proven/suspected NSCLC were enrolled. They underwent standard diagnostic and staging procedures to determine resectability, surgery was performed. Forty-two patients were diagnosed with NSCLC, while 27patients had benign lung lesions and functioned as the control group. Chemokine concentrations in peripheral blood were assessed using ELISA. Parametric statistics were used for the analysis of results. RESULTS: There were no differences in plasma chemokine concentrations in NSCLC patients compared to controls. CXCL12 concentrations correlated positively with tumor extent expressed as clinical stage, (mean values: stage I 5.08 ng/mL, SEM 0.59; stage II and IIIA 7.82 ng/mL; SEM 1.06; P=0.022). Patients with NSCLC stages II+IIIA had significantly higher CXCL12 concentrations than controls (mean values: stage II+IIIA 7.82 ng/mL; SEM 1.06; controls 5.3 ng/mL; SEM 0.46; P=0.017). CONCLUSION: CXCL12 was related to tumor growth and could potentially be used as a biomarker of advanced disease.

RESUMO

Background: Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression is a standard predictor in the selection of immunotherapy for locally advanced/advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, comedication with corticosteroids or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may influence the effectiveness of this treatment as documented in several previous studies. Due to certain molecular linkages between PD-L1 and corticosteroids or NSAIDs, we therefore addressed the question of whether there is a relationship between PD-L1 expression in NSCLC and the use of this comedication. Methods: This is a retrospective study using the Czech tumor registry LUng CAncer focuS (LUCAS), from which patient data were drawn. Independence of two categorical parameters was tested by Pearson's chi-square test. Results: In our group of 1,148 patients, we observed no significant relationship between PD-L1 expression and the use of corticosteroids or NSAIDs. Conclusions: According to our data, treatment with corticosteroids or NSAIDs during biopsy does not affect the expression of PD-L1 and it is therefore not necessary to take this treatment into account in this regard.

RESUMO

AIM: This study compared the results of nivolumab treatment in patients with pulmonary adenocarcinomas based upon previous chemotherapeutic regimens. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The data source for this retrospective study was the Czech VILP registry of patients with nivolumab-treated adenocarcinomas in second and higher lines of treatment. In relation to objective response rate, progression-free interval, and overall survival, three comparisons of patient were made: A: Those treated in first line with cisplatin and pemetrexed versus carboplatin with paclitaxel or vinorelbine; B: treatment with cisplatin and pemetrexed versus carboplatin with paclitaxel/vinorelbine and bevacizumab; and C: treatment in previous lines with pemetrexed (first-line cisplatin and pemetrexed plus those treated in second line with pemetrexed) versus treatment with taxane (first-line carboplatin and paclitaxel only plus those treated with second-line docetaxel). RESULTS: We observed no differences in objective response rate or progression-free survival between patients treated with the stated chemotherapeutic regimens. We observed a trend towards better overall survival for patients treated with carboplatin plus taxanes or vinorelbine with/without bevacizumab. CONCLUSION: From our overall survival data, a chemotherapeutic regimen of carboplatin plus taxanes or vinorelbine with/without bevacizumab might be a better partner for immunotherapy than a cisplatin and pemetrexed-based one.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND/AIM: Due to some interconnectedness at the molecular level, this study assessed the possible influence of laboratory parameters associated with systemic inflammatory environment on programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). PATIENTS AND METHODS: We assessed effects of c-reactive protein (CRP), albumin, haemoglobin, neutrophil, and lymphocyte levels on PD-L1 expression in NSCLC. Patient data were obtained retrospectively from LUCAS, the Czech registry of patients with lung carcinomas. Correlations of two continuous parameters (PD-L1 expression and laboratory parameters) were analysed by correlation coefficient. Differences in continuous parameters between two or more groups were tested by Mann-Whitney or Kruskal-Wallis tests. Independence of two categorical parameters was tested by chi-square test. RESULTS: We demonstrated no influence of the investigated laboratory parameters on PD-L1 expression in NSCLC, either in continuous or categorical division of variables. CONCLUSION: Inflammatory laboratory parameters at time of NSCLC diagnosis are unlikely to affect the determination of PD-L1 expression.

RESUMO

Purpose: Aim was to analyze demographic and tumor characteristics, treatment, and survival of patients with lung cancer younger than 40 years of age (U40) compared to older subgroups (41-70 and >70 years). Methods: We analyzed data of young patients diagnosed and treated in 2011-2019 in five pneumo-oncology centers in Czechia. Standard descriptive statistics, chi-squared test, Fisher exact test, and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis were used. p-Values <0.05 were considered significant. These data were compared with two control subgroups (cohort 1: 41-70 years, cohort 2: >70 years). Results: We identified 66 patients U40, 61 with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)-50.8% men, mean age 34.6 years, 54.1% nonsmokers, daily good performance status, and 82% in stage IV. Adenocarcinomas dominated, endothelial growth factor receptor (EGFR) positivity was less common than in older groups contrary to anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) mutations. Median progression-free survival was 3.7 months (vs. 4.9 and 6.2 months; p = 0.006) and overall survival reached 11.7 months (vs. 22.3 and 27.3 months; p < 0.001). Young patients in stage IV and never-smokers had shorter survival than older patients. Conclusion: Patients with NSCLC U40 had significantly worse prognosis than older patients.
