Purpose: Metastatic cervical cancer has a poor prognosis, and treatment options are limited. Immunotherapy has been used to achieve disease control in patients with cervical cancer; however, the efficacy of immunotherapy retreatment after disease progression is unclear. This study aimed to explore the efficacy and safety of immunotherapy retreatment in metastatic cervical cancer.

Patients And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of patients with metastatic cervical cancer who underwent immunotherapy retreatment after disease progression following previous immunotherapy from June 2019 to April 2021.

Results: Fifteen patients were included in this study. All patients received combination immunotherapy retreatment consisting of camrelizumab, nab-paclitaxel, and apatinib. Four (26.7%) patients achieved partial response while three (20.0%) achieved stable disease. The objective response rate and disease control rate were 26.7% and 46.7%, respectively. The median progression-free survival and overall survival were 3.0 (95% confidence interval: 1.0-5.0) and 8.0 (95% confidence interval: 3.4-12.6) months, respectively. None of the patients discontinued treatment because of intolerable toxicity.

Conclusion: Our findings suggest that the triplet combination immunotherapy retreatment could be a therapeutic option for patients with metastatic cervical cancer who failed initial immunotherapy.

Introduction: Locoregional recurrence (LR) is common in locally advanced head and neck cancer (HNSCC), posing challenges for treatment. We analysed outcome parameters and toxicities for patients being treated with radiotherapy (RT) for LR-HNSCC and investigated patient and disease related prognostic factors in this prognostically unfavourable group.

Methods: This analysis includes 101 LR-HNSCC patients treated with RT, radio-chemotherapy (RCT) or radio-immunotherapy (RIT) between 2010 and 2018 at a high-volume tertiary centre.

Introduction: The efficacy and safety of re-administration of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in advanced solid tumors lacks consensus and is of great concern to clinicians. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and adverse effects of ICIs rechallenges in advanced solid tumors.

Methods: We systematically searched the databases of PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and screened the relevant literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Article Synopsis
  • - Patients with advanced/metastatic urothelial carcinoma who previously responded to or maintained stable disease with pembrolizumab immunotherapy may benefit from retreatment after disease progression, based on a post hoc analysis involving 49 patients from earlier clinical trials.
  • - The study found that 41% of these patients achieved an objective response following retreatment, with a notable percentage having had a complete response during the initial treatment, and the median duration of the response was around 14 months.
  • - Additionally, the retreatment led to manageable adverse effects, with only 45% experiencing treatment-related events, indicating that pembrolizumab retreatment is a viable and relatively safe option for select patients.

Background: The standard of care for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who encounter progression on initial immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) based treatment is uncertain. In the real world, there are various subsequent treatment options, but how to find the most suitable treatment for different patients is still unknown. The present study aimed to explore prognostic factors of subsequent treatment after progression (STAP) (defined as the next treatment after progression from the initial immunotherapy) of initial immunotherapy.
