Prognostic significance of bone metastasis and clinical value of bone radiotherapy in metastatic non-small cell lung cancer receiving PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors: results from a multicenter, prospective, observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Bone metastasis (BoM) is a prevalent occurrence in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), significantly impacting prognosis and diminishing both survival rates and patients' quality of life. More and more studies have demonstrated that immunotherapy can improve the prognosis of NSCLC patients with bone metastases. Previous investigations pertaining to BoM in NSCLC have generally suffered from small sample sizes, absence of propensity score matching (PSM) to equate baseline characteristics, and an omission of the examination of patterns of treatment failure. This study aims to evaluate the prognostic significance of BoM and potential clinical value of bone radiation in metastatic NSCLC patients receiving immunotherapy.
