This study aimed to identify predictive factors associated with prognostic benefits of gefitinib. Patients and methods: EGFR gene typing in 33 advanced NSCLC patients received gefitinib (250 mg/day) were analyzed with mutant-enriched PCR assay. Gefitinib response was evaluated with potential predictive factors retrospectively. Results: The overall objective response rate (ORR) and median progression-flee survival (PFS) in the 33 patients treated by gefitinib were 45.5% and 3.0 (2.0-4.0) months. The ORR and median PFS in EGFR gene mutation patients were significantly higher/longer than those in EGFR gene wild-type patients (P〈0.01). Similarly, the ORR and median PFS in non-smoker patients were significantly higher/longer than those in smoker patients (P〈0.05, P〈0.01, respectively). However, no difference for ORR and median PFS occurred between male and female patients. Logistic multivariate analysis showed that only EGFR mutated gene was significantly associated with the ORR (P〈0.01). Both EGFR mutated gene and non-smoker were the major factors that contributed to PFS (P〈0.05). Conclusions: EGFR mutated gene and non-smoker status are potential predictors for gefitinib response in NSCLC patients.展开更多

文摘免疫治疗是目前除手术、化疗、放疗及靶向治疗外,另一种能够有效改善肺癌预后的治疗方法。在各种免疫治疗方法中,免疫检查点抑制剂(immune checkpoint inhibitors,ICI)在近年来发展迅速,已成为肿瘤治疗领域的新兴疗法及研究热点。其中,程序性死亡受体1(programmed death receptor-1,PD-1)及其配体程序性死亡配体-1(programmed death receptor-ligand1,PD-L1)的抑制剂在多种恶性肿瘤的治疗中均取得了显著疗效,部分药物已被美国FDA批准应用于临床。该文对PD-1/PD-L1抑制剂在晚期非小细胞肺癌(non-small-cell lung cancer,NSCLC)患者治疗中的临床研究现状进行综述,探讨其在晚期NSCLC治疗中的临床应用价值、前景及面临的问题与挑战。
