Efficacy of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors for Lung Cancer According to Patient Age and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Abstract:Background
For treatment of advanced lung cancer, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) + chemotherapy or the combination of dual ICIs has become the standard first-line treatment in recent years. Considering the differences among patients’ immune systems, the response to ICIs may vary. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the predictive implications of patient age and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) for the efficacy of ICIs for the treatment of lung cancer.
