It is widely known that ROS1 rearrangement mostly occurs in the adenocarcinoma subtype of non-small-cell lung cancer. Patients with squamous cell carcinoma harboring ROS1 rearrangement are extremely rare. This is a case report of a squamous cell carcinoma patient with ROS1 rearrangement.

The findings of EGFR mutations and the development of targeted therapies have significantly improved the overall survival of lung cancer patients. Still, the prognosis remains poor, so we need to know more about the genetic alterations in lung cancer. MicroRNAs are dysregulated in lung cancer, and some of them can regulate EGFR.

The brain is one of the most common sites for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) metastasis; however, late isolated brain metastasis as a recurrence of NSCLC is rare. The present study describes a case of isolated solitary brain metastasis as a late recurrence of NSCLC, which occurred >2 years following the successful resection of the primary tumor, and was identified by magnetic resonance imaging. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of isolated brain metastasis as a postoperative recurrence of NSCLC.

The c-ros oncogene 1 (ROS1) fusion is almost mutually exclusive to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) or Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) mutation in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and it is not seen in the literature for patients to exhibit three mutations. The present study reported a case of a 53-year-old male diagnosed with adenocarcinoma, exhibiting combined EGFR, KRAS mutations and ROS1 rearrangement. At the first line therapy, the patient was treated with crizotinib because of the KRAS mutation that is a known resistant factor of EGFR-TKI resistance, but no responsive.

The emergence of multidrug resistance (MDR) in cancer cells has made many of the currently available chemotherapeutic agents ineffective. However, the mechanism involved in mediating this effect is not yet fully understood. Here, we found the overexpression of type I insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-IR) in established colorectal MDR cells.

Objective: To explore the effect of the traditional Chinese medicine Yifei Kangliu (YFKL) Oral Liquid on the proliferation, cell cycle and protein-nucleic acid synthesis of murine Lewis lung cancer cell and human lung adenocarcinoma cell line SPC-A-1.

Methods: The inhibiting rates of tumor growth were calculated by weighing the weight of tumor inoculated in vivo, combined by counting cancer cells in vitro. The ratio of the cell cycle and exponents of DNA, RNA, and protein were measured by flow cytometry (FCM).

Objective: To evaluate the influence of fewer courses and prolonged intervals of chemotherapy on survival rate of advanced non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated by sequential chemo-radiation therapy combined with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).

Methods: From Jan. 2000 to Dec.
