Relevance of body mass index as a predictor of systemic therapy outcomes in metastatic melanoma: analysis of the MelBase French cohort data

Y. Di Filippo et al.

Summary: This study found no association between BMI and survival outcomes and adverse events in metastatic melanoma patients undergoing systemic therapy. Despite the obesity paradox suggesting a potential link between higher BMI and better survival, no such relationship was observed in this study.

Sarcopenia and prognosis of advanced cancer patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors: A comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis

Han-Yu Deng et al.

Summary: This study conducted a meta-analysis to investigate the prognostic value of sarcopenia in patients with advanced cancer receiving ICIs for the first time. The results showed that sarcopenia was associated with lower response rate, shorter 1-year PFS and OS rates, and was identified as an independent unfavorable prognostic factor of PFS and OS in these patients. Subgroup analysis also confirmed the predictive value of sarcopenia in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer and melanoma receiving ICIs.

Re-Evaluating the Effects of Obesity on Cancer Immunotherapy Outcomes in Renal Cancer: What Do We Really Know?

Kristine Farag et al.

Summary: The article discusses the effects of obesity on the immune system and cancer immunotherapy outcomes, with a specific focus on renal cancer. While some studies suggest detrimental effects of obesity on anti-tumor immunity, others have found opposite results. It is necessary to further study the relationship between obesity and cancer immunotherapy outcomes in different patient populations.
