Intrapleural perfusion hyperthermia improves the efficiency of anti‑PD1 antibody‑based therapy for lung adenocarcinoma: A case report.

Chemotherapy based on intrapleural perfusion hyperthermia (IPH) can markedly improve the sensitivity of lung adenocarcinoma cells to anti-programmed cell death receptor 1 (PD1) antibody adjuvant chemotherapy and enhance the clinical response of a patient. In the present study, a unique case of a patient who failed to respond to immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy but achieved prolonged stable disease after treatment with IPH and subsequent sintilimab-based treatment, is reported. A 50-year-old Chinese female patient was admitted to a regional cancer hospital presenting with hemoptysis and persistent fever.

Correlation of magnetic resonance imaging quantitative parameters and apparent diffusion coefficient value with pathological breast cancer.

Background: China ranks 120 worldwide for the incidence of breast cancer and 163 for mortality. Early screening, diagnosis, and timely determination of the optimal treatment plan can help ensure clinical efficacy and prognosis.

Aim: To investigate the relationship between quantitative magnetic resonance imaging parameters, apparent diffusion coefficient value, pathological immunohistochemical status, and patient prognosis.

Two case reports of non-small cell lung cancer patients harboring acquired T790M--C797S benefit from immune checkpoint inhibitor combined with platinum-based doublet chemotherapy.

Background: Acquired resistance is inevitable in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs). The emergence of exon 20 C797S is one of the major resistance mechanisms to osimertinib as a third-generation EGFR-TKI. To date, there is no standard of care for NSCLC patients after acquiring C797S.

The Effect of the Kirsten Rat Sarcoma Viral Oncogene Homolog () Proto-Oncogene, GTPase Genetic Polymorphism on the Safety and Efficacy of Bevacizumab Combination Treatment Regimens for Patients with Nonsquamous, Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer with Brain Metastases.

Non-small cell lung cancer with brain metastasis (NSCLCBM) is normally observed in advanced-stage patients. Bevacizumab has shown to improve survival in the first-line treatment of metastatic brain NSCLC when added as a bolus plus irinotecan. However, a better understanding of the molecular mechanism is required to further drive progress in this field.

Elevation of microRNA-365 impedes malignant behaviors of gastric cancer cells by inhibiting PAX6.

MicroRNA-365 (miR-365) has been revealed to be a vital regulator in tumorigenesis of multiple cancers, while there is a large gap in the knowledge about miR-365 expression and gastric cancer (GC). This research focused on the effects of miR-365 and paired box 6 (PAX6) on GC development. Levels of miR-365 and PAX6 in GC tissues and cell lines were determined, followed by the screening of the AGS and NCI-N87 cells.

Durable clinical benefit from afatinib in a lung adenocarcinoma patient with acquired EGFR L718V mutation-mediated resistance towards osimertinib: a case report and literature review.

Osimertinib, as a third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), targeting EGFR exon 19 deletions, L858R, and T790M, has shown robust clinical efficacy and promising survival advantages in a subset of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. However, osimertinib-treated patients ultimately develop secondary resistance. Besides EGFR C797S mutation and EGFR amplification, a rare EGFR mutation, L718V, has been reported to confer osimertinib resistance in the literature, which is developed in about 8.

LncRNA MCM3AP-AS1 Downregulates LncRNA MEG3 in Triple Negative Breast Cancer to Inhibit the Proliferation of Cancer Cells.

The oncogenic role of lncRNA MCM3AP-AS1 has been reported in several types of cancer, while its role in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is unknown. The expression levels of MCM3AP-AS1 and MEG3 in TNBC and paired nontumor tissues from 60 TNBC patients were measured by RT-qPCR. The effects of overexpression of MCM3AP-AS1 and MEG3 on the proliferation of BT-20 and BT-549 cells were evaluated by cell proliferation assay.
