Objectives: This study aims to develop and validate a radiomics model based on F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography ([F]FDG PET-CT) images to predict pathological complete response (pCR) to neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Materials And Methods: One hundred eighty-five patients receiving neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy for NSCLC at 5 centers from January 2019 to December 2022 were included and divided into a training cohort and a validation cohort. Radiomics models were constructed via the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) method.

Background: Bronchiolar adenoma (BA)/ciliated muconodular papillary tumor (CMPT) is a rare lung tumor characterized by ciliated, mucous and basal cells. Recently, some cases of driver mutations or malignant transformations have been reported. However, the nature of BA/CMPT remains controversial.

Background: Impaling injuries to the chest are relatively rare and often lethal. Initial evaluation, resuscitation, and surgical planning can be challenging for emergency physicians and surgeons. Chest trauma can be classified as either closed or penetrating, depending on whether or not the pleural cavity is open.

Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the most common lung cancer with high incidence. The prognosis of LUAD is poor due to its aggressive behavior. Long non‑coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been reported as a key modulator on LUAD progression.

Purpose: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have emerged as a pivotal regulatory element in the progression of human cancers. Being an important member of circRNAs, circFOXO3 has been implicated in tumor invasion or metastasis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC); however, the molecular mechanism underlying this promoting effect remains an enigma. The present study aims to study the function of circFOXO3 and dissect the relevant intracellular network in the progression and metastasis of NSCLC.

Lung cancer is a malignancy with the highest morbidity and mortality in the world. Radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy have been widely used to treat metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), also known as stereotactic ablation radiotherapy (SABR), can precisely deliver a high dose of radiation to a target in a limited area.

Background: High-position single-intercostal two-port video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) technique has been used for thoracic diseases. It can effectively avoid postoperative chronic pain compared with the traditional three-port VATS. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of high-position single-intercostal two-port video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy.

Background: Lymphadenectomy is an important part of surgical treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the prognostic impact of lymph node (LN) dissection for patients with NSCLC ≤1 and >1 to 2 cm who underwent sublobar resection is still unclear.

Methods: A group of patients numbering 7,627 with NSCLC 2 cm or less who underwent sublobar resection were identified from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database between January 2010 and November 2015.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the leading cause of cancer-associated mortality worldwide. yrdC N6-threonylcarbamoltransferase domain containing protein (YRDC) has been demonstrated to be involved in the formation of threonylcarbamoyladenosine in transfer ribonucleic acid. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying NSCLC progression remain largely unclear.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is one of the most common cancer types worldwide. Previous studies have indicated that TOR signaling pathway regulator (TIPRL) is involved in the progression of NSCLC. However, the underlying mechanisms of the role of TIPRL in regulating NSCLC metastasis have remained largely elusive.

Missense mutations in EGFR exon 20 are rare in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and mostly insensitive to the first generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) of EGFR. However, their responses to the third generation TKI are unclear. Here, we reported a patient with advanced NSCLC harboring a rare EGFR H773L/V774M mutation complex.
