Purpose: EGFR-TKIs are the first-line therapy for advanced NSCLC harboring EGFR-sensitive mutations. A robust immunity is an essential foundation for patients to tolerate continuous drug treatments. Lienal Polypeptide (LP) is an immunomodulator widely applied to regulate immunity in clinical practice. Nevertheless, its potential impact on EGFR-TKIs therapy has not been illustrated. This study aimed to explore the immunomodulatory and antitumor efficacy of LP in combination with EGFR-TKIs threapy in advanced NSCLC.
Patients and methods: Retrospective analysis on variation of lymphocytes in 106 NSCLC patients after EGFR-TKIs combined with LP treatment was performed. Proliferation experiment, transwell and wound healing assays were performed in PC9-GR cells to estimate influence of LP on tumor proliferation, invasion and migration in vitro.. View More»
