Association between smoking and survival benefit of immunotherapy in advanced malignancies: A systematic review and meta-analysis
American Journal of Clinical Oncology Aug 30, 2019
Wallis C, Satkunasivam R, Butaney M, et al. - Because tumor mutational burden has been shown to be linked to response to immunotherapy (IO), researchers investigated whether smoking history is associated with a better response to IO. In patients with advanced solid organ malignancies, they used a systematic review with stratified meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials of IO vs standard of care. According to findings, smoking status is not significantly linked to the response to IO in the treatment of advanced solid organ malignancies. In addition, no significant difference was found between current and never smokers.
