ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Several studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of anti-angiogenic drugs in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in patients with microsatellite stable (MSS) or mismatch repair proficient (pMMR) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). However, whether combination radiotherapy (RT) can further improve the prognosis of mCRC patients after second-line treatment remains to be explored.METHODS:
Retrospective analysis of data from mCRC patients who received anti-angiogenic targeted therapy (TT) and immunotherapy (IT) with or without RT after the failure of standard therapy. Progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), and safety were evaluated.RESULTS:
A total of 82 patients who received TT + IT were analyzed. For RT group (n = 42) versus NRT group (n = 40), ORR was 21.4% (9/42) versus 5.0% (2/40); DCR was 83.8% (35/42) versus 65.0% (26/40). Compared with NRT group, RT improved PFS (median 5.0 vs. 3.6 months; p = 0.04) and OS (median 15.2 vs. 7.2 months; p = 0.01). In addition, in the population receiving RT, the PFS of RT sequential/simultaneous TT + IT was superior to TT + IT sequential RT (median 7.1 vs. 6.2 vs. 3.5 months, p = 0.004). Multivariate analysis suggested RT was an independent prognostic factor for PFS and OS. No treatment-related deaths were reported.CONCLUSIONS:
Compared with TT + IT, RT combined with TT + IT improved survival outcomes in MSS/pMMR mCRC patients, with manageable toxicity. RT sequential/simultaneous TT + IT treatment is expected to be the optimal strategy for MSS/PMMR mCRC.Palavras-chave
