Abstract

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are an essential component of metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatment. Metastatic NSCLC patients frequently develop brain metastases requiring treatment with CNS radiation therapy (CNS-RT). Prospective data on safety and outcomes with overlapping immunotherapy and CNS-RT is lacking. Retrospective studies have reported safety in this population with no increased risk of radiographic events of hemorrhage or radionecrosis. We completed a retrospective review to evaluate rates of clinically significant CNS adverse events (CNS-AEs) and OS in those receiving CNS-RT with and without concurrent ICI use.
