Clinical Scorecard: Assessment of the Safety and Effectiveness of Deep Hyperthermia in Combination with Tislelizumab and Chemotherapy for Advanced Squamous Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer: A Retrospective Analysis from a Single Center

At a Glance

CategoryDetail
ConditionAdvanced Squamous Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)
Key MechanismsDeep hyperthermia enhances tumor cell sensitivity to treatment and boosts immune response.
Target PopulationPatients with advanced squamous NSCLC, specifically those with PD-L1 TPS expression level less than 50%.
Care SettingOncology department in a hospital setting.

Key Highlights

  • ORR in experimental group: 66.0% vs. 46.0% in control group (P = 0.044).
  • DCR in experimental group: 86.0% vs. 84.0% in control group.
  • No significant difference in TRAEs between groups (P > 0.05).
  • Median PFS and OS showed no statistically significant difference (P = 0.647; P = 0.370).
  • Combination therapy is safe and effective for advanced squamous NSCLC.

Guideline-Based Recommendations

Diagnosis

  • Histopathological or cytological confirmation of inoperable squamous cell carcinoma.
  • AJCC 8th edition stage IV lung cancer.

Management

  • Combination of deep hyperthermia, tislelizumab, and chemotherapy as initial therapy.

Monitoring & Follow-up

  • Regular assessment of treatment response and adverse events.

Risks

  • Exclusion of patients with severe organic diseases or immunodeficiency disorders.

Patient & Prescribing Data

100 patients with advanced squamous NSCLC, median age 66 years.

Deep hyperthermia combined with tislelizumab and chemotherapy shows improved ORR without increased adverse events.

Clinical Best Practices

  • Ensure informed consent and eligibility criteria are met.
  • Monitor patient response and adjust treatment as necessary.
  • Consider patient history, including smoking status and organ function.
