Aim: This study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of peripheral naive and memory CD8+ and CD4+ T cells and other immune cells in patients with oligometastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) undergoing radiotherapy (RT). Methods: A total of 142 patients with oligometastatic NSCLC treated with RT were enrolled, and their blood samples were collected within 3 days before RT. Immune cells were identified by flow cytometry. Results: Patients with high levels of naive CD8+ T cells had longer overall survival (p = 0.004) and progression-free survival (p = 0.001) than those with low levels of naive CD8+ T cells. Multivariate analyses revealed that naive CD8+ T cells were independently correlated with overall survival (p = 0.019) and progression-free survival (p = 0.024). Conclusion: The results suggest that peripheral naive CD8+ T cells may be an independent prognostic indicator for patients with oligometastatic NSCLC undergoing RT.

e21063 Background: The prognosis of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients(pts) with multiple brain metastases is poor. WBRT is the main treatment for the pts, but QUARTZ study showed that the efficacy of WBRT is unsatisfactory. The synergistic effect of the antiangiogenic therapy with radiation therapy has been well established. Anlotinib, an antiangiogenic multi-target TKI, had significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS) of advanced NSCLC with Brain Metastases. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of anlotinib combined with WBRT in pts with brain metastases ( > 3) from advanced NSCLC. Methods: Advanced NSCLC pts with brain metastases ( > 3) who were histologically confirmed to be driver gene wild type or positive and pts who had received two or more previous treatments were eligible. Pts with meningeal metastasis were excluded. All pts were treated with anlotinib (12 mg, QD, day 1 to 14 of a 21-day cycle) combined with WBRT (DT 30Gy/12f), followed by maintenance therapy with anlotinib until disease progression or treatment intolerance. The primary endpoint was intracranial progression-free survival (iPFS). Secondary endpoints were extracranial PFS (ePFS), OS and toxicity. Results: As of 25 Jan 2021, 28 pts were enrolled. The median age was 57.5 years with 46.4% male. 89.3% of pts with adenocarcinoma. 21.4% pts harbored EGFR mutation. A total of 25 pts were included in efficacy analysis. In intracranial evaluation, ORR was 64.0%, DCR was 88.0%, median iPFS was 11.1 months (95% CI 5.9 to 12.1). In extracranial evaluation, ORR was 12.0%, DCR was 84.0%, median ePFS was 6.0months (95% CI 3.2 to 8.8). Most common grade 1-2 adverse events (AEs) were hypertension (67.8%), fatigue (64.2%)，anorexia (46.4%) and hand and foot skin reaction (37.5%). The most common grade 3-4 AEs were hypertension (12.5%), hand and foot skin reaction (10.7%) and fatigue (7.2%). No intracranial hemorrhage occurred during treatment. Dose adjustment due to AE occurred in 21.4% patients. Conclusions: This prospective study shows that the combination of anlotinib and WBRT for patients with multiple brain metastases after standard treatment resistance exhibited an effective therapeutic approach and manageable AEs. For further investigation, large sample and additional clinical trials are warranted. Clinical trial information: ChiCTR1900022093.

Background/Aim. About 1.8 million new lung cancer cases are diagnosed in the world every year, and about 1.6 million cases are with fatal outcome. Despite improvements in treatment in previous decades, the survival of patients with lung cancer is still poor. The five-year survival rate is about 50% for patients with localized disease, 20% for patients with regionally advanced disease, 2% for patients with metastatic disease, and about 14% for all stages. The median survival of patients with untreated NSCLC in the advanced stage is four to five months and the annual survival rate is only 10%. The main goal of the research is to obtain and analyze the results of treatment with concomitant chemotherapy in terms of its efficacy and toxicity in selected patients with locally advanced inoperable non-small cell lung cancer. Methods. The study included data analysis of 31 patients of both sexes who were diagnosed and pathohistologically verified with NSCLC in inoperable stage III and were referred by the Council for Malignant Lung Diseases to the Radiotherapy Department of the Military Medical Academy for concomitant chemoradiotherapy treatment. Upon expiry of the three-month period from the performed radiation treatment, the tumor resonance was assessed on the basis of MSCT examination of the chest and upper abdomen according to RECIST 1.1 criteria (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors). According to the same criteria, progression-free survival (PFS) was also assessed every three months during the first two years, then every 6 months or until the onset of disease symptoms, as well as overall survival (OS). Result. The median progression-free survival is 13 months, and the median overall survival is 20 months. During and immediately after RT, 9 (29%) patients had a grade 2 or higher adverse event. Conclusion. The use of concomitant chemoradiotherapy in patients in the third stage of locally advanced inoperable non-small cell lung cancer provides a good opportunity for a favorable therapeutic outcome, with an acceptable degree of acute and late toxicity, and represents the standard therapeutic approach for selected patients in this stage of the disease.
