Résumé
Monoclonal antibodies targeting PD1/PD-L1 are game changers in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but biomarkers are lacking. We previously reported the prognostic role of splenic volume in digestive cancer and its correlation with the presence of immunosuppressive cells. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic role of splenic volume in NSCLC patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). We conducted a retrospective study of 276 patients receiving ICIs for advanced NSCLC in the Georges François Leclerc Cancer Center. The association between splenic volume at baseline and at two months of therapy and progression-free survival (PFS) during ICI treatment or overall survival (OS) from ICI initiation was evaluated using univariate and multivariable Cox analyses. Splenic volume during treatment and the change in splenic volume were associated with poor PFS (respectively = 0.02 and = 0.001) and with OS (respectively < 1.10 and < 1.10). Baseline splenic volume at the first evaluation was also associated with poor OS ( = 0.001). LDH rate and dNLR were positively correlated with splenic volume, as well as with its evolution. After the adjustment of clinical variables, splenic volumes remained a predictive marker of immunotherapy efficacy. Splenic volume is a prognostic biomarker in patients with advanced NSCLC treated with ICIs.
