| Popis: | Background Programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) inhibitors are the first-line treatment for advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. However, their efficacy in metastatic NSCLC patients remains controversial. Aim of the study The aim of our study was to evaluate the prognosis of advanced metastatic NSCLC patients treated with PD-1 inhibitors, and discuss the predictive effect of metastatic site on the long-term outcome. Methods The Embase, Ovid Medline, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and PubMed databases were systematically screened up to February 10, 2020. Twenty-five eligible studies, involving 8,067 patients that assessed the impact of metastatic sites on survival outcome were incorporated in our study. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were described as hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence interval (CI). Results Among the advanced NSCLC patients, the median proportion of brain, liver, bone, and adrenal gland metastases were 21%, 17%, 35%, and 21%, respectively. Patients with metastases to the brain, liver, and bone had worse OS compared to patients without these metastases when treated with PD-1 inhibitors. Similarly, patients with metastasis to the brain and liver were more likely to progress when treated with PD-1 inhibitors. Besides, patients with multiple metastatic sites had worse PFS compared to patients with one metastatic site, while no significant difference was found in terms of OS. Conclusions Based on the findings of our systematic review and meta-analysis, metastatic sites were independent predictors of the survival outcome for advanced NSCLC patients treated with PD-1 inhibitors. |
