ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND/AIM:
Programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) expression is known to be a predictive biomarker for response to immunotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, PD-L1 is not always a reliable predictive biomarker. In the present study, we aimed to compare responses to immunotherapy according to smoking status in NSCLC patients receiving immunotherapy in second line or further line treatment. PATIENTS ANDMETHODS:
The lung cancer registry database of the Catholic Medical Center, Seoul, Republic of Korea was used. Patients were eligible for this study if they were diagnosed with histologically confirmed NSCLC and received immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) as second-line or further line therapy from January 2017 to December 2021.RESULTS:
Overall, 220 patients with NSCLC treated with ICIs were enrolled. There were 40 never smokers, 73 former smokers, and 107 current smokers. In multivariate analysis, smoking status, pathologic type, and PD-L1 expression were significant factors affecting PFS. Sex, ECOG performance status, pathologic type, and PD-L1 expression were significant factors affecting OS.CONCLUSION:
Smoking status at diagnosis of lung cancer could be a predictive biomarker for response to ICIs in patients with advanced NSCLC.Palavras-chave
