Abstract

Background

The therapeutic advantage of thoracic radiotherapy (tRT) as an adjunct to first-line immunotherapy and chemotherapy in patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) remains unclear. We sought to elucidate this in a retrospective cohort study comparing the effectiveness and safety of tRT in combination with first-line immunotherapy and chemotherapy.

Methods

Our retrospective study included patients with ES-SCLC, treated at the West China Hospital between January 2019 and December 2022. They received first-line immunotherapy and chemotherapy and were categorized into two cohorts based on the administration of tRT. The primary outcomes were overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Cox regression analysis was utilized to identify potential independent predictors of prognosis and to compare the treatment outcomes across various patient subgroups. Treatment-related toxicities across both cohorts were compared using the Chi-squared test.

Results

A total of 99patients were eligible for the study, out of which 55 received tRT. The medianduration of follow-up was 39 months. Remarkably, patients who received tRTdemonstrated superior OS and PFS in comparison to those who did not (P < 0.05). Subgroup analysis further confirmed these findings. Multivariate analysisidentified treatment group and liver metastasis as independent prognosticfactors (P < 0.05). The incidence of grade 3-4 adverse events showed nostatistically significant difference between the two cohorts.

Conclusions

Thus, weconfirmed that the addition of tRT to the conventional regimen of first-linechemotherapy and immunotherapy yields better survival outcomes without asignificant increase in toxicity.

胸腔放疗对 ES-SCLC 患者一线治疗效果的影响。

背景：在广泛期小细胞肺癌（ES-SCLC）患者中，胸腔放疗（tRT）作为一线免疫疗法和化疗的辅助疗法的治疗优势仍不明确。我们试图通过一项回顾性队列研究，比较胸腔放疗与一线免疫疗法和化疗联合使用的有效性和安全性，来阐明这一问题：我们的回顾性研究纳入了2019年1月至2022年12月期间在华西医院接受治疗的ES-SCLC患者。他们接受了一线免疫治疗和化疗，并根据tRT的使用情况被分为两个队列。主要结果为总生存期（OS）和无进展生存期（PFS）。研究人员利用 Cox 回归分析确定了预后的潜在独立预测因素，并比较了不同患者亚组的治疗效果。使用Chi-squared检验比较了两组患者的治疗相关毒性：共有 99 名患者符合研究条件，其中 55 人接受了 tRT 治疗。随访时间为 39 个月。值得注意的是，与未接受 tRT 治疗的患者相比，接受 tRT 治疗的患者的 OS 和 PFS 均优于未接受 tRT 治疗的患者（P 结论：接受 tRT 治疗的患者的 OS 和 PFS 均优于未接受 tRT 治疗的患者）：因此，我们证实，在一线化疗和免疫治疗的传统方案中加入 tRT 可以获得更好的生存效果，而毒性不会显著增加。
