摘要
Abstract Background The objective of this study was to evaluate if 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT)-derived parameters are useful in predicting response and survival after programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) blocking immunotherapy in patients with advanced NSCLC characterized by a high programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression (≥50%) on immunohistochemistry. Patients and Methods In 30 patients with advanced stage IV non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and high PD-L1 expression, 18F-FDG PET/CT parameters before start of treatment with PD-1 blocking immunotherapy were evaluated retrospectively. In 24 out of the 30 patients, 18F-FDG PET/CT was available 8 to 9 weeks after start of the treatment. Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1) and metabolic responses assessed on 18F-FDG PET/CT were compared. Results Median follow-up was 20 months (range, 4.2-37.6). Median PD-L1 expression was 80%. The objective response rate with RECIST 1.1 was 53.3%. Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 12.4 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.0-37.8), and median overall survival (OS) was 14.9 months (95% CI, 2.4-38.2). Baseline 18F-FDG PET/CT parameters did not differ between responders and non-responders (all P > .05). The maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) was the only 18F-FDG PET/CT parameter associated with PFS (P = .04), with a trend for OS (P = .06). At first evaluation, response according to total metabolic tumor volume (TMTV) and total lesion glycolysis (TLG) were associated with PFS and OS (both P Conclusion Clinical response and survival were independent from metabolic tumor volume at baseline. Reduction of metabolic tumor volume after 8 to 9 weeks of treatment was a better predictor for prolonged survival than RECIST 1.1.
