Only ~20% of patients with advanced non–small-cell lung cancer will benefit from immunotherapy; thus, biomarkers are needed. We performed a retrospective analysis of peripheral blood biomarker expression in 154 patients with advanced non–small-cell lung cancer receiving immunotherapy. Five variables at baseline (smoking, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status, liver metastases, lactate dehydrogenase, and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio) were combined in a prognostic score (EpSILoN), which significantly identified 3 prognostic groups.

Abstract

Only ~20% of patients with advanced non–small-cell lung cancer will benefit from immunotherapy; thus, biomarkers are needed. We performed a retrospective analysis of peripheral blood biomarker expression in 154 patients with advanced non–small-cell lung cancer receiving immunotherapy. Five variables at baseline (smoking, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status, liver metastases, lactate dehydrogenase, and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio) were combined in a prognostic score (EpSILoN), which significantly identified 3 prognostic groups.
