Development of a prognostic nomogram for advanced non-small cell lung cancer using clinical characteristics.

ABSTRACT: This retrospective study demonstrated that patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who experienced any-grade or grade 1-2 immune-related adverse events (irAEs) with immune checkpoint inhibitor plus chemotherapy (ICI+Chemo) as first-line treatment regimen had significantly longer progression-free survival (PFS; p < 0.001) and overall survival (OS; p < 0.05) compared with patients without any irAE. Three variables were identified as predictors of favorable PFS and OS: absence of baseline brain metastasis (p < 0.05), receiving first-line ICI+Chemo (p < 0.01), and occurrence of any grade adverse events (p < 0.001). Using these three variables, two nomograms were generated to predict PFS and OS, which were validated using two independent cohorts trea
