: Anti PD1/PD-L1 agents, including pembrolizumab, have revolutionized the oncological treatment of different types of cancer, including non-small cell lung cancer. The most frequent complications associated with this type of treatment are mild and are located at the thyroid, pulmonary or hepatic level. Sarcoid like reaction and mesenteric panniculitis secondary to pembrolizumab treatment are two very rare adverse effects.

Background: Platinum-based therapies for patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have classically provided overall survival (OS) rates of six to nine months and objective response rates (ORRs) of 20-30%. Whether prior immunotherapy determines a different response to platinum is currently unknown. This study aimed to analyse the current response characteristics to platinum as a second-line treatment for advanced NSCLC (PD-L1 ≥50%) after first-line immunotherapy.

Objectives: The S-REAL study aimed to assess the effectiveness of durvalumab as consolidation therapy after definitive chemoradiotherapy (CRT) in a real-world cohort of patients with locally advanced, unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC) included in a Spanish early access program (EAP).

Methods: In this multicentre, observational, retrospective study we analysed data from patients treated in 39 Spanish hospitals, who started intravenous durvalumab (10 mg/kg every 2 weeks) between September 2017 and December 2018. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS).

Background: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has undergone a major change in the last decade in terms of survival and prognosis due to the introduction of new drugs in the last 10 years. One of the drugs with the most promising preliminary results in NSCLC are PARP inhibitors (iPARPs), whose clinical trials have very heterogeneous results. The use of iPARPs in NSCLC may lead to increased survival in several selected patients, and their use may become a standard in the coming years.

Introduction: Immunotherapy represents a key pillar of cancer treatments, with high response rates and long survival. Its use is increasing, mainly at the expense of the geriatric population due to the ageing of this population. However, despite its benefit, its safety in certain areas such as cardiotoxicity is largely unknown.

Introduction COVID-19 disease has caused a global health and economic crisis. The introduction of the different COVID-19 vaccines has resulted in a significant decrease in the morbidity and mortality associated with this disease. Adverse effects have been reported, including cardiological ones such as myocarditis or pericarditis after administration.

Mutations in the mismatch repair (MMR) system predict the response to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) like colon or gastric cancer. However, the MMR system's involvement in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains unknown. Addressing this issue will improve clinical guidelines in the case of mutations in the main genes of the MMR system (MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, and PMS2).

Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) is the second most frequent cancer in humans, and is now responsible for as many deaths as melanoma. Immunotherapy has changed the therapeutic landscape of advanced CSCC after the FDA approval of anti-PD1 molecules for the treatment of locally advanced and metastatic CSCC. However, roughly 50% of patients will not respond to this systemic treatment and even those who do respond can develop resistance over time.
