ratio [HR] 20.1, 95% confidence interval [CI] 5.5-73.9, p < 0.001), presence of liver metastasis (HR 5.5, 95% CI 2.1-14.6, p ¼ 0.001), and CNS metastasis (HR 2.9, 95% CI 1.1-7.4, p ¼ 0.027) were independent predictive factors for short PFS. Conclusion: Clinical factors including post-treatment NLR at 6 week might be predictive of clinical benefits from anti-PD-1 antibody therapy in lung cancer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
