  •   Objective  Immuno-checkpoint inhibitors significantly change the treatment prospects for non-small cell lung cancer. PD-L1, as a biomarker of immunotherapy, is extensively used in clinical settings, but some defects remain in its application. This study aimed to further explore the predictive effect of serum-related markers in clinical practice.  Methods  We retrospectively collected 48 cases of advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients receiving immunotherapy in Henan Provincial People's Hospital from 2019 to June 2021. Fasting peripheral blood was taken before treatment and after 4 cycles of treatment to detect the levels of cytokines and lymphocyte subsets. After four cycles, according to the efficacy (complete response, CR; partial response, PR; stable disease, SD; progressive disease, PD), it was divided into a control group (CR+PR+SD) for a total of 36 cases and an ineffective group (PD) for 12 cases. The changes in level after treatment between the two groups and the relationship with efficacy were compared.  Results  After the four cycles of immunotherapy treatment, lymphocyte levels, total T lymphocyte levels, and CD4+ T lymphocyte levels in the control group were significantly higher than those in the ineffective group [(1 648±564) μL vs. (1 098±581) μL; (1 121±388) μL vs. (651±368) μL; 540(367, 799) μL vs. 245(125, 411) μL, all P < 0.05]. The count level of T cells was significantly negatively correlated with tumor progression, and a higher T cell expression level corresponded with better progression-free survival (PFS). Conversely, the high expression of IL-4 and IL-6 was significantly positively correlated with tumor progression, and PFS was worse.  Conclusion  The lymphocyte subgroups and expression levels of cytokines are closely related to the efficacy of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. They can be used as predictors of the efficacy of immunotherapy for advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
