Molecular Characteristics and Pretreatment Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio as Predictors of Durable Clinical Benefit from Immune Checkpoint Inhibition in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.

Elevation in pretreatment NLR was associated with significantly lower overall median survival from initiation of ICI, particularly when in combination with NSCLC with alterations in EGFR, ALK, or ROS1. This finding could influence clinical practice as NLR is readily available through routine blood testing.
