Metastases and primary tumor organ disease showed different tumor responses to pembrolizumab. The most prominent tumor response was found in lung metastasis and the least response was found in primary organ sites. The mechanisms of these different responses were unclear and there does not appear to be a constant trend between tumor shrinkage and OS in tumor sites. Further studies are needed.
