Introduction: Chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy (CT-IO) is the standard treatment for patients with Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer (ES-SCLC). This study evaluates the effectiveness of second-line (2L) following CT-IO.
Patients And Methods: All patients from 10 centers who received a 2L after a first-line CT-IO were included.
Background: First-line chemotherapy plus immunotherapy (CT-IO) has recently demonstrated survival benefits over CT alone in extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC), based on randomized phase III studies. This retrospective multicenter study assessed the real-world use and effectiveness of CT-IO in ES-SCLC patients.
Patients And Methods: All newly diagnosed ES-SCLC patients from 4 French hospitals treated with CT alone or CT-IO between May 2020 and December 2021 were included.

Introduction: The objective of this study was to determine whether computed tomography (CT) could be a useful tool for nonsolid lung nodule (NSN) treatment planning, surgery or stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), by assessing the macroscopic and microscopic extension of these nodules.
Methods: The study prospectively included 23 patients undergoing anatomic resection at the Foch Hospital in 2020/2021 for NSN with a ground-glass component of more than 50%. Firstly, for each patient, both the macroscopic dimensions of the NSN were assessed on CT and during pathologic analysis.
Background: Cooperative groups' involvement is increasing in academic oncological research. We aimed to assess the impact of sponsoring by cooperative groups in France on the availability of results of academic randomized trials in oncology.
Methods: We performed a systematic search using ClinicalTrials.
Background: An accurate and comprehensive assessment of harms is a fundamental part of an accurate weighing of benefits and harms of an intervention when making treatment decisions; however, harms are known to be underreported in journal publications. Therefore, we sought to compare the completeness of reporting of harm data, discrepancies in harm data reported, and the delay to access results of oncological clinical trials between three sources: clinical study reports (CSRs), clinical trial registries and journal publications.
Methods: We used the EMA clinical data website to identify all trials submitted to the EMA between 2015 and 2018.
