摘要:

目的 探索非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)组织中肿瘤间质比(TSR)对肿瘤免疫治疗疗效预测的价值。方法 收集2017年1月至2020年12月期间武汉大学人民医院接受免疫检查点抑制剂治疗的ⅢB~Ⅳ期NSCLC患者的临床和组织病理学资料,以50%为TSR界值,将患者分为低TSR组(≤50%)和高TSR组(>50%),比较两组临床病理特征、4周期客观缓解率(ORR)和疾病控制率(DCR)、6周期ORR和DCR以及无进展生存期(PFS)的差异,采用单因素及多因素Cox回归模型分析与PFS相关的预后因素。结果 共纳入患者50例,其中低TSR组27例,高TSR组23例。两组年龄(χ2=0.59,P=0.441)、性别(P=0.578)、吸烟史(χ2=0.12,P=0.730)、组织类型(χ2=2.33,P=0.313)、TNM分期(χ2=0.22,P=0.636)、4周期ORR(χ2=0.48,P=0.487)和DCR(P=0.593)、6周期ORR(χ2=0.05,P=0.818)和DCR(P=0.641)差异均无统计学意义;高TSR组较低TSR组脑转移发生率更高[34.8%(8/23) vs. 7.4%(2/27),χ2=4.23,P=0.040]。Kaplan-Meier生存分析显示,与高TSR组相比,低TSR组的PFS明显更长(15.6个月 vs. 10.2个月,χ2=13.84,P<0.001)。单因素分析结果显示TSR值(HR=0.29,95%CI为0.14~0.58,P<0.001)、脑转移(HR=2.38,95%CI为1.12~5.05,P=0.024)均与NSCLC患者更差的预后存在相关性。多因素Cox回归分析显示TSR值是影响NSCLC免疫治疗的独立预后因素(HR=0.32,95%CI为0.14~0.70,P=0.004)。结论 TSR是NSCLC免疫治疗的独立预后因素,但是否可预测晚期NSCLC免疫治疗的近期疗效仍需进一步研究。

Abstract:

Objective To explore the value of tumor stroma ratio (TSR) in non-small lung cancer (NSCLC) tissue in predicting the efficacy of tumor immunotherapy. Methods The clinical and histopathological data of patients with stage ⅢB-Ⅳ NSCLC treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors in the Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from January 2017 to December 2020 were collected. Taking 50% as the TSR boundary value, the patients were divided into low TSR group (≤50%) and high TSR group (>50%). The histopathological features, 4-cycle objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR), 6-cycle ORR and DCR, and progression-free survival (PFS) were compared between the two groups. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression models were used to analyze the prognostic factors related to PFS. Results A total of 50 patients were included, including 27 with low TSR and 23 with high TSR. There were no significant differences between the two groups in age (χ2=0.59, P=0.441), gender (P=0.578), smoking history (χ2=0.12, P=0.730), histopathological type (χ2=2.33, P=0.313), TNM stage (χ2=0.22, P=0.636), 4-cycle ORR (χ2=0.48, P=0.487) and DCR (P=0.593), 6-cycle ORR (χ2=0.05, P=0.818) and DCR (P=0.641). The incidence of brain metastasis was higher in the high TSR group than that in the low TSR group [34.8% (8/23) vs. 7.4%(2/27), χ2=4.23, P=0.040]. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the PFS in the low TSR group was significantly longer than that in the high TSR group (15.6 months vs. 10.2 months, χ2=13.84, P<0.001). Univariate analysis showed that TSR value (HR=0.29, 95%CI: 0.14-0.58, P<0.001) and brain metastasis (HR=2.38, 95%CI: 1.12-5.05, P=0.024) were correlated with the worse prognosis of NSCLC patients. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that TSR value was an independent prognostic factor for NSCLC immunotherapy (HR=0.32, 95%CI: 0.14-0.70, P=0.004). Conclusion TSR is an independent predictor of immunotherapy for NSCLC, but whether it can predict the short-term efficacy of immunotherapy for advanced NSCLC still needs further research.
