inflammation index (ALI) and modified ALI (p=0.056
and p=0.071). In multivariate model, only the development of toxicities maintained a positive Hazard Ratio for
OS (p=0.0003). No significant correlation were found
between selected MM, AT and BE baseline parameters
and response or toxicities to IT. During IT, only a major
decrease of psoas muscle area in pts with PD (p=0.036)
was significant.
Conclusions: In our small, retrospective, but homogeneous casuistry, MM, AT and BMI did not show impact on
OS or relation with toxicities or response. Significant
results were observed with ECOG, some BE and scores.
Probably a combination of clinical and biological factors
will be necessary to guide treatment choice and care of
pts. More studies with multidimensional approach are
warranted.

Results: From the data analysis, considering overall the
responses to the treatments, 24 partial responses were
obtained (PR) of which 16 in men and 8 in women and 21
disease stability (SD) of which 15 in men and 6 in women.
In 54 patients we achieved disease progression (PD), 32
were males and 22 females. The disease control rate (DCR)
was 49% in males and 39% in females.
Conclusions: The better DCR in men compared to women
affected by NSCLC and treated with ICIs registered in our
study agrees with the literature. It has been not possible to
date to highlight any statistically significant difference in
PFS and OS due to the immaturity of the data.

Background: Lung cancer remains the most common
malignancy and the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Currently, for the non oncogene-addicted
disease, the use of immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has
radically changed the prognosis of these patients. First
demonstrated to improve outcomes in second-line or later
therapy of advanced disease, ICIs were shown to improve
overall survival compared with chemotherapy in first-line
therapy for patients whose tumors express PD-L1 on at
least 50% of cells. More recently, combining ICIs with
chemotherapy has been shown to improve survival in
patients with both squamous and non-squamous NSCLC,
regardless of PD-L1 expression. As reported in literature
the magnitude of benefit of ICIs treatments is sex-linked.
This could be related to the central involvement of the
immune response, strongly influenced from complex interactions between genes, hormones and the environment, to
the sex dimorphism in cancer biology and also to the sexhormone modulation of the PD-1-PD-L1 pathway.
Patients and Methods: We retrospectively analysed clinical data of 99 patients diagnosed with advanced NSCLC
and treated with ICIs (Pembrolizumab and Nivolumab) at
Clinical Oncology Unit, AOU Careggi-Firenze (Italy),
between April 2014 and August 2019.

Background: Immunotherapy is an important therapeutic
strategy for NSCLC, but only about 20% of patients had
benefit. To identify predictive markers is crucial for a
proper patient selection. Few trials assessed the correlation
between nutritional/inflammation status and the effectiveness of immunotherapy.
Material (patients) and methods: A retrospective trial
included patients (pts) with metastatic lung adenocarcinoma treated with immunotherapy from June 2017 to
October 2019. We evaluated the following parameters:
body mass index, weight loss, body composition by BIVA
and computed tomography (CT) at L3-L4, C-reactive protein (CRP), albumin, hemoglobin, absolute lymphocytes
count, patient performance status (PS), anorexia and quality of life (by miniCASCO questionnaire). Clinical
response (CR) according iRECIST crtiteria, overall survival and progression-free survival (PFS) were assessed.
All pts were evaluated every 4-6 months.
Results: We included 18 patients. CR significantly correlated with CRP (r = 0.4943;CI95% 0.05164-0.7746;
p=0.0315) and muscle mass index (MMI) calculated by
CT at baseline (r = 0.4955; CI95% 0.05328- 0.7752;
p=0.031). We also found a significant correlation between
PFS and CRP (r = -0.7304; CI95% -0, 8928 to -0.3999; p
= 0.0006), MMI (r = 0.8229; CI95% 0.2119-0.6623; p =
0.0255) and PS at baseline ( r = -0.5101; CI95% -0.7890
to -0.05667; p = 0.0306). Additionally, OS correlated significantly with baseline CRP (r = -0.6637; CI95% -0.8631
to -0.2851; p = 0.0027) and MMI at CT (r = 0.584; CI95%
