Background: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of recombinant human endostatin (Rh-endostatin) plus programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) inhibitors and chemotherapy as first-line treatment for advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in a real-world setting.

Methods: This was a retrospective study on patients with EGFR/ALK-negative, advanced or metastatic NSCLC. Patients received Rh-endostatin plus PD-1 inhibitors and chemotherapy every three weeks for 4 to 6 cycles.

Tumor-infiltrating immune cells (TICs) play a central role in the tumor microenvironment, which can reflect the host anti-tumor immune response. However, few studies have explored TICs in predicting the prognosis of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). In our study, we enrolled 2470 LUAD patients from TCGA and GEO databases, and the normalized enrichment scores for 65 immune cell types were quantified for each patient.

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the process of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients from achieving optimal efficacy to experiencing disease progression until death. It examines the predictive value of the treatment response on progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of SCLC patients.

Patients And Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis on 136 SCLC patients diagnosed from 1992 to 2018.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of different PD-1 inhibitors, used in combination with chemotherapy, as first-line therapy for advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients without driver genes.
  • - A total of 204 patients were analyzed, with 56 receiving modified PD-1 inhibitors (like Sintilimab) and 148 receiving Pembrolizumab, during a follow-up period of about 20.6 months.
  • - Results showed a median overall survival of 26.9 months, with progression-free survival at 8.4 months, and response rates indicating that nearly half of patients (47.6%) responded positively to treatment.

Gastric cancer (GC) is a progressive disease with high morbidity and mortality. Accumulating evidence indicated that nervous system-cancer crosstalk can affect the occurrence and progression of GC. However, the role of nerve-related lncRNAs (NRLs) in GC remains largely unexplored.

Article Synopsis
  • - Renal angiomyolipoma (RAML) is a common kidney tumor in children with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), often leading to serious complications, and its treatment with sirolimus was studied for effectiveness and safety.
  • - In a study involving 126 children treated with sirolimus, tumor disappearance rates increased over time, with 33.3% showing significant improvement by the end of 24 months; smaller tumor size at treatment onset correlated positively with higher disappearance rates.
  • - The treatment was generally well-tolerated, with mild side effects like stomatitis observed in 29% of patients and no serious adverse reactions reported, indicating sirolimus is a viable option for managing TSC-associated

Background: Immunotherapy has transformed cancer treatment patterns for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (aHCC) in recent years. Therefore, the identification of predictive biomarkers has important clinical implications.

Methods: We collected medical records from 117 aHCC patients treated with anti-PD-1 antibody.

Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have changed the treatment landscape of several cancer types. However, data are lacking with regard to the clinical responsiveness of ICIs in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after standard first-line chemotherapy. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of ICI alone or in combination with chemotherapy for patients with advanced NSCLC after first-line platinum-based chemotherapy.

Anti-programmed death-1 (PD-1) therapy has been extensively used to treat cancer. Recently, the combination of immunotherapy and anti-angiogenic therapy has emerged as a novel treatment approach. Therefore, we designed a study to evaluate the real-world benefit of the combination of anti-PD-1 and anti-angiogenesis therapy in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
