Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) being the most common type. Genomic studies of LUAD have advanced our understanding of its tumor biology and accelerated targeted therapy. However, the proteomic characteristics of LUAD are still insufficiently explored.

Mutations in tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes are important for PCa progression, whereas the role of epigenetic factors in prostate carcinogenesis is insufficiently examined.

The clinical development of immune checkpoint blockade has dramatically changed the treatment paradigm for patients with lung cancer. Yet, an improved understanding of PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoint blockade-responsive biology is warranted.

However, many patients develop recurrence and die of their disease despite curative surgery. Underlying mechanisms leading to establishment of systemic disease after complete resection are mostly unknown.
