Although chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and antiangiogenic drugs have become the cornerstones of treatment for advanced non-small-cell carcinoma (NSCLC) in clinical practice, the emergence of immune checkpoint inhibitors (such as PD-1 inhibitors) in recent years has also provided new options for the treatment of NSCLC. To explore whether PD-1 inhibitors combined with recombinant human endostatin and chemotherapy followed by IMRT have a certain curative effect in the treatment of advanced NSCLC. We retrospectively analyzed 47 patients with stage IIIB, IIIC, and IV NSCLC admitted to our hospital from August 2022 to June 2023.

The aim of the present study was to identify whether ANRIL may be a possible target for colorectal cancer (CRC) therapy. Reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to quantify the expression levels of the long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) ANRIL in 97 paired CRC and adjacent non‑neoplastic tissue samples.

Methods: Fifty-three patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma, who received recombinant human endostatin combined with induction chemotherapy followed by chemoradiotherapy, treated in our department from December 2011 to March 2013 were included in the study group of this study. Another 48 patients, who received induction chemotherapy followed by chemoradiotherapy alone in the same period, were chosen as a control group.
