A case of PD-1 targeting drugs + radiation of A Chinese patient. Here is the info of this case:
before PD-1: lung 6cm, Liver 5+cm, pancreas 6cm
Best response: Lung 0.7cm, Liver 1cm.
Developed resistance to PD-1, Oct ~Dec 2017: lung 20% increase. pancreas 5cm (intensity modulated radiation therapy, 45gy/25days)
Mar 2018: Lung 1.7cm, Liver 5.2, pancreas 1.5cm
Now: Lung 3.4cm, Liver 6.4, pancreas clear.
The interesting thing of this patient is, he had intensity modulated radiation therapy to the pancreas met after he developed resistance to PD-1. the radiation didn't cause abscopal immuno response, but the treated met response very well and disappear.
I think we should add this to the immuno treatment--even if someone seem doesn't response to immunotherapy, radiation can work better on the treated met. In this case, all the big mets can be treated to reduce the tumors.
