Abstract Summary
Researchers developed a novel biomarker called the DDR-IF score that identifies extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer patients most likely to benefit from combining PARP inhibitors with immunotherapy. Patients with high DDR-IF scores showed a 42% response rate versus 18% in low scorers. This promising tool integrates genomic instability and immune markers to personalize treatment, though prospective trials are needed for validation.
