FDG-PET biomarkers associated with long-term benefit from first-line immunotherapy in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer

ConclusionsIn patients with advanced NSCLC and PD-L1 TPS  ≥ 50%, baseline low TMTV and high tumor SUVmean correlate with survival and LTB from upfront pembrolizumab. Beyond the initial staging, FDG-PET/CT scan could provide relevant biomarkers associated with clinical outcomes that should be taken into account when considering first-line treatment o ptions.
