The Value of 18F-FDG PET/CT in Predicting the Response to PD-1 Blocking Immunotherapy in Advanced NSCLC Patients with High-Level PD-L1 Expression Vrije Universiteit Brussel
BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to evaluate if 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT)-derived parameters are useful in predicting response and survival after programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) blocking immunotherapy in patients with advanced NSCLC characterized by a high programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression (≥50%) on immunohistochemistry.
