Efficacy and safety of Cadonilimab plus anlotinib in small cell lung cancer with brain metastases by Hai-Zhen Yi, Wei Lv, Jin-Jing Chen, Zhan Lin

“…PurposeThis study aimed to evaluate the efficiency and safety of Cadonilimab and Anlotinib pairing in individuals diagnosed with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and brain metastases (BMs).MethodsA review was performed on individuals who were diagnosed with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and had central nervous system (CNS) metastases confirmed via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain.We assessed the treatment response of Cadonilimab plus Anlotinib using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) and Response assessment in neuro-oncology brain metastases (RANO-BM) for evaluating solid tumors and neuro-oncology brain metastases, respectively.The patients’ prognosis was determined using Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox regression analysis.FindingsThe study initially included 46 patients diagnosed with SCLC who presented with brain metastases (BMs). …”
