WileyAug 5 2024 Since the first immunotherapy drug to boost the body's immune response against advanced lung cancer was introduced in the United States in 2015, survival rates of patients with the disease have improved significantly. That's the conclusion of a recent real-world study published by Wiley online in CANCER, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society.
In a comparison of 100,995 patients with metastatic NSCLC treated in 2015–2020 and 90,807 patients with metastatic NSCLC in the pre-immunotherapy era of 2010–2014, patients in the immunotherapy era were less likely to die from any cause. The overall survival rates at one, three, and five years were 40.1% versus 33.5%, 17.8% versus 11.7%, and 10.7% versus 6.8%. The median overall survival was eight months in patients in the immunotherapy era and seven months in those in the pre-immunotherapy era.
Survival rates remained significantly better in the immunotherapy era even after accounting for factors including age, sex, race, income, and geographical area.
