First-site-metastasis pattern in patients with inoperable stage  III NSCLC treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy with or without immune check-point inhibition: a retrospective analysis

ConclusionThis retrospective analysis of inoperable stage  III NSCLC patients revealed that age over 65, V20 ≥ 30 and GTV ≥ 78 cc were prognosticators for BMFS and GTV ≥ 78 cc for ecDMFS. ICI treatment led to a significant improvement of BMFS, ecDMFS and DMFS. ecDM as FSMP was associated with significant deterioration of OS, whereas BM as FSMP was not.
