Abstract:【Objective】This study aims to explore the predictive value of T lymphocyte subsets, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (Tils), and inflammatory markers on the effectiveness of first-line chemotherapy in advanced lung cancer.【Methods】Serum levels of interleukin 1α (IL-1α), IL-6, IL-17, and interferon-gamma (INF-γ), as well as the proportions of T lymphocyte subsets including CD4+T cells, CD8+T cells, regulatory T cells, CD57+ cells, Granzyme B+ cells, and CD45RO+ cells were measured in 98 newly diagnosed patients with stage Ⅲ/Ⅳ non-small cell lung adenocarcinoma. All patients received a chemotherapy regimen of paclitaxel injection and cisplatin for four cycles. Treatment effectiveness was assessed post-treatment, and patients were categorized into the responsive and non-responsive groups. Factors influencing the non-responsiveness and potential biomarkers for predicting treatment outcomes were analyzed.【Results】Out of 98 patients, 69 were responsive to chemotherapy, while 29 were non-responsive. Non-responsive patients had a higher proportion of lymph node metastasis, and higher levels of regulatory T cells and IL-1α expression (P<0.05), while their proportions of CD57+ and CD45RO+ cells were lower than those in the responsive group (P<0.05). Multivariate stepwise logistic regression analysis indicated that high levels of regulatory T cells and IL-1α were risk factors for ineffective chemotherapy response (P<0.05), whereas CD57+ and CD45RO+ cells were protective factors (P<0.05). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed sensitivities of 82.76%, 86.21%, 89.66%, and 93.10% for regulatory T cells, CD57+ cells, CD45RO+ cells, and IL-1α levels, respectively. The combined sensitivity, specificity, and area under the curve (AUC) of regulatory T cells, CD57+ cells, CD45RO+ cells, and IL-1α levels were 82.76%, 97.10%, and 0.957, respectively.【Conclusion】T lymphocyte subsets, Tils, and inflammatory markers are closely related to the treatment outcomes of advanced lung cancer and can serve as sensitive indicators for predicting therapeutic efficacy.
