Baseline metabolic tumor burden on FDG PET/CT scans predicts outcome in advanced NSCLC patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors

We aimed to evaluate if imaging biomarkers on FDG PET are associated with clinical outcomes in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). In this retrospective monocentric study, we included 109 patients with advanced NSCLC who underwent baseline FDG PET/CT before ICI initiation between July 2013 and September 2018. Clinical, biological (including dNLR = neutrophils/[leukocytes...
