Abstract
Introduction: Evaluation of tumor response according only to dimensional criteria may underestimate treatment benefit in patients treated for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC). In this study we evaluated the role of lesion enhancement modifications and Choi criteria in patients affected by renal cell carcinoma treated with immunotherapy.
Methods: We collected data of 60 consecutive patients (with a total of 154 measurable lesions) treated with immunotherapy (nivolumab or ipilimumab plus nivolumab) at a single Institution. We evaluated tumour response using both RECIST1.1 criteria and Choi criteria at the first radiological assessment; we subsequently associated response with progression free survival and overall survival.
Results: Choi criteria found a higher rate of objective response compared to RECIST criteria (38.3% vs 18.3%). An objective response according to both criteria was associated with longer progression free survival and overall survival. Response rate for Choi did not vary according to lesion site.
Conclusion: Choi criteria seemed to be able to predict clinical benefit in a higher proportion of patients with renal cell carcinoma treated with immunotherapy than RECIST criteria. Partial response according to RECIST was confirmed as a predictor of longer progression-free survival and overall survival.
仅根据尺寸标准评估肿瘤反应可能会低估转移性肾细胞癌(RCC)患者的治疗益处。在这项研究中,我们评估了病变增强修饰和Choi标准在免疫治疗肾细胞癌患者中的作用。方法:我们收集了在单一机构接受免疫治疗(nivolumab或ipilimumab加nivolumab)的60例连续患者(共154个可测量病变)的数据。在第一次放射学评估中,我们使用RECIST1.1标准和Choi标准评估肿瘤反应;我们随后将反应与无进展生存期和总生存期联系起来。结果:Choi标准发现客观缓解率高于RECIST标准(38.3% vs 18.3%)。根据这两个标准的客观反应与更长的无进展生存期和总生存期相关。Choi的有效率没有因病变部位而异。结论:与RECIST标准相比,Choi标准似乎更能预测免疫治疗肾癌患者的临床获益。根据RECIST,部分缓解被证实为更长的无进展生存期和总生存期的预测因子。
期刊介绍:
Tumori Journal covers all aspects of cancer science and clinical practice with a strong focus on prevention, translational medicine and clinically relevant reports. We invite the publication of randomized trials and reports on large, consecutive patient series that investigate the real impact of new techniques, drugs and devices inday-to-day clinical practice.
