Objective : To observe the efficacy and safety of immune checkpoint inhibitors ( ICIs ) in the treatment of recurrent, persistent and metastatic cervical squamous cell carcinoma. Methods : A retrospective analysis of 43 patients with recurrent, persistent and metastatic cervical squamous cell carcinoma treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors in Cancer Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Cancer Hospital of HuanxingbeijingChaoYang District and Tianjin Shixuenin General Hospital from January 2020 to August 2023. The efficacy and side effects of the patients were recorded in detail.Results: The median age was 58 ( 26-73 ) years, median treatment 4 ( 1-21 ) cycles, median follow-up 12 ( 1-52 ) months, ORR : 39.5 %, DCR : 79.1 %, median PFS13 months, median OS32 months, common adverse reactions : leukopenia ( 48.8 % ), gastrointestinal reaction ( 32.6 % ), thrombocytopenia ( 18.6 % ), itching rash ( 16.3 % ), liver dysfunction ( 14.0 % ). The incidence of grade ≥ 3 adverse reactions was 58.1 % ( 25 / 43 ), including leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, gastrointestinal reactions, itching rash, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, myocarditis, pneumonia, etc. One case terminated treatment due to adverse reactions, 1 case complicated with vaginal urethral fistula, and 1 case died of infection complications. Conclusion: Immune checkpoint inhibitors have shown exciting efficacy in the treatment of recurrent, persistent, and metastatic cervical squamous cell carcinoma. However, we also need to pay close attention to its possible serious adverse reactions. |
