Association of Lung Immune Prognostic Index (LIPI) with Disease Control Rate and Progression-Free Survival in Patients with Soft-Tissue Sarcoma Treated with Immunotherapy in Early-Phase Trials

LIPI is a significant independent prognostic marker for DCR in patients with STS treated with immunotherapy. In early-phase trials, LIPI could be used as a screening tool for stratification at inclusion. High neutrophil levels, which correlate with a poorer LIPI score, are likely associated with immunotherapy resistance. This relationship could explain the statistical impact of poor LIPI in the immunotherapy group.
