Background
Body mass index (BMI) is used to define obesity, but it is an imperfect measure of body composition. In the current study, the authors explored the association between types of fat and survival in patients treated with immunotherapy.
Methods
A retrospective analysis of 90 patients who were treated with immunotherapy on phase 1 clinical trials at the Winship Cancer Institute in Atlanta,...
Background Selecting the appropriate patients to receive immunotherapy (IO) remains a challenge due to the lack of optimal biomarkers. The presence of liver metastases has been implicated as a poor prognostic factor in patients with metastatic cancer. We investigated the association between sites of metastatic disease and clinical outcomes in patients receiving IO. Methods We conducted a retrospective...
Background
Optimal prognostic and predictive biomarkers for patients with advanced‐stage cancer patients who received immunotherapy (IO) are lacking. Inflammatory markers, such as the neutrophil‐to‐lymphocyte ratio (NLR), the monocyte‐to‐lymphocyte ratio (MLR), and the platelet‐to‐lymphocyte ratio (PLR), are readily available. The authors investigated the association between these markers and clinical...
