Introduction: Systemic treatment options for NSCLC with brain metastases (BMs) are scarce. We evaluated the activity and safety of camrelizumab plus chemotherapy as first-line therapy in patients with advanced nonsquamous NSCLC with BMs.
Methods: This was a multicenter, single-arm, phase 2 trial (NCT04211090) conducted at seven hospitals in China.
Background: Oxycodone hydrochloride is a semisynthetic narcotic analgesic agent. This study aimed to explore optimal titration strategy of controlled-release (CR) oxycodone hydrochloride in patients with cancer pain.
Methods: 258 patients, who used regular strong opioids (morphine and CR oxycodone hydrochloride) for cancer pain across 25 three grade class hospitals in China during January 15th 2017 to April 30th 2017, were retrospectively studied.
Background: Bearing multidimensional tumor-relevant information ranging from genomic alterations to proteomic makeup, circulating tumor cells (CTCs) constitute a promising material for liquid biopsy. The clinical validity of CTCs has been most extensively studied in metastatic breast cancer (MBC). The Cellsearch assay is currently the most widely used, while alternative strategies are pursued.

It is unknown whether the dose-dense R-CHOP (R-CHOP-14) could improve the outcome of the disease in Asian population.
Materials And Methods: Newly diagnosed DLBCL patients were centrally, randomly assigned (1:1) to receive R-CHOP- 14 or R-CHOP-21.
Background: Lung cancer is one of the most common and a lethal malignancy in the world and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most usual type. H19 long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) plays essential roles in tumor development. But its role in tumor metastasis is still unclear.

This study was to investigate the clinical features of PCNSL, and evaluate the efficacy of high-dose methotrexate (MTX)-based chemotherapy for immunocompetent Chinese patients with PCNSL.
Methods: Clinical data of 32 patients (median age, 50 years) with pathologically confirmed PCNSL were analyzed retrospectively.
