Extracellular vesicle (EV) monitoring can complement clinical assessment of cancer response. In this study, patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) undergoing osimertinib, alectinib, pembrolizumab or platinum-based chemotherapy ± pembrolizumab were enrolled. EVs were characterized using Bradford assay to quantify the circulating cell-free EV protein content (cfEV), and dynamic light scattering to assess Rayleigh ratio excess at 90°, z-averaged hydrodynamic diameter and polydispersity index.

The communication of scientific knowledge to patients and society as a whole has never been more central than in modern times. Thanks to the recent pandemic, it has become evident how Scientific Communication (SC) has evolved over time, increasingly diverging from common language. However, it is also clear that it must be properly used by healthcare professionals to avoid comprehension issues that could be severe for the audience.

- Neuropathic pain (NP) is a long-lasting and painful condition caused by damage to the nervous system, and regular pain medications often don't work for it.
- Antidepressant drugs can help treat NP because they affect certain chemicals in the body that cause inflammation and pain.
- Medicines like amitriptyline and nortriptyline not only ease pain but also help control inflammation in the brain, making it less likely for NP to become a chronic problem.
