Newly emerged ROS1 rearrangement in a patient with lung adenocarcinoma following resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitors: a case report.

Background: ROS1, a member of the sevenless subfamily of tyrosine kinase insulin receptors, promotes tumor cell survival, proliferation, and metastasis by activating the JAK/STAT, PI3K/AKT, and MAPK/ERK pathways. It only accounts for about 2% of total NSCLC cases. No cases of acquired ROS-1 rearrangement have been reported worldwide.

Randomized, Phase III Trial of Mixed Formulation of Fosrolapitant and Palonosetron (HR20013) in Preventing Cisplatin-Based Highly Emetogenic Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: PROFIT.

Purpose: Mixed formulation of fosrolapitant and palonosetron (PALO), HR20013, is a novel fixed-dose intravenous antiemetic combination that could simultaneously antagonize neurokinin-1 and 5-hydroxytryptamine-3 receptors. This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HR20013 plus dexamethasone (DEX) versus fosaprepitant (FAPR) plus PALO + DEX for preventing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) in patients receiving highly emetogenic chemotherapy (HEC).

Methods: This is a noninferiority study.

Enhancing endoscopic scene reconstruction with color-aware inverse rendering through neural SDF and radiance fields.

Virtual surgical training is crucial for enhancing minimally invasive surgical skills. Traditional geometric reconstruction methods based on medical CT/MRI images often fall short in providing color information, which is typically generated through pseudo-coloring or artistic rendering. To simultaneously reconstruct both the geometric shape and appearance information of organs, we propose a novel organ model reconstruction network called Endoscope-NeSRF.

Neural radiance fields-based multi-view endoscopic scene reconstruction for surgical simulation.

Purpose: In virtual surgery, the appearance of 3D models constructed from CT images lacks realism, leading to potential misunderstandings among residents. Therefore, it is crucial to reconstruct realistic endoscopic scene using multi-view images captured by an endoscope.

Methods: We propose an Endoscope-NeRF network for implicit radiance fields reconstruction of endoscopic scene under non-fixed light source, and synthesize novel views using volume rendering.

Efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors in SMARCA4-deficient and TP53 mutant undifferentiated lung cancer.

The present study was conducted to characterize the clinicopathologic characteristics, immunohistochemical staining results, and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) efficacy in patients with SMARCA4-deficient/TP53 mutant lung cancer. Patients diagnosed with advanced or metastatic undifferentiated lung cancer harboring SMARCA4-deficient and TP53 mutations, however, without targetable sensitive mutations were retrieved from the electronic medical record system. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the baseline characteristics and clinical features including age, gender, eastern cooperative oncology group performance status, disease stage, smoking status, chief complaint, site of the primary mass, tumor size, gross type, symptoms, local invasion, and metastatic sizes.

Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio may predict efficacy of anti-PD-1 inhibitors in advanced EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer: retrospective cohort study.

This study aimed to investigate the associations between the clinical characteristics and effectiveness of anti-PD-1 inhibitors in patients with EGFR-sensitive mutations, aiming to identify the potential subgroup of patients who might benefit from anti-PD-1 inhibitor treatment. Patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-sensitive mutations who received subsequent anti-PD-1 inhibitors in combination with chemotherapy/antiangiogenic agents or alone after progression to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) were screened. Clinical characteristics, including hematological parameters, were investigated for potential correlations with clinical outcomes.

Immune checkpoint inhibitor-induced autoimmune encephalitis in metastatic squamous cell lung cancer.

Because of their efficacy in improving prognosis, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are widely used in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer. However, approximately half of patients experience immune-related adverse events, including autoimmune encephalitis, during treatment. Herein the authors present a case of ICI-associated autoimmune encephalitis, resulted in a favorable prognosis after treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin and methylprednisolone.

Bevacizumab biosimilar LY01008 compared with bevacizumab (Avastin) as first-line treatment for Chinese patients with unresectable, metastatic, or recurrent non-squamous non-small-cell lung cancer: A multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, phase III trial.

Background: Previous studies have demonstrated the preclinical pharmacological and toxicological consistency, and clinical pharmacokinetic equivalence of bevacizumab biosimilar LY01008 with reference bevacizumab (Avastin). This randomized controlled trial aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of LY01008 with Avastin in first-line treatment of Chinese patients with advanced or recurrent non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Methods: Stage IIIB-IV NSCLC patients with evaluable lesions, good physical status, and adequate organ functions from 67 centers across China were randomized in a ratio of 1:1 to receive LY01008 or Avastin 15 mg/kg intravenously in combination with paclitaxel/carboplatin (combined treatment) for 4-6 cycles, followed by maintenance monotherapy with LY01008 until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or death.

Meta-analysis on the risk of fatal adverse events by bevacizumab, cetuximab, and panitumumab in 31 randomized trials including 25,000 patients with colorectal carcinoma.

Background: Targeted drugs including bevacizumab, cetuximab, and panitumumab have been widely used during the management of patients diagnosed with colorectal carcinoma, especially as palliative treatment. The present meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the fatal adverse events (FAEs) of targeted drugs including bevacizumab, cetuximab, and panitumumab in patients with colorectal cancer.

Patients And Methods: Studies of prospective, randomized, and controlled feature from EMBASE, Medline, and Cochrane Library, which reported FAEs potentially associated with bevacizumab, cetuximab, and panitumumab were adopted.

Radiologic Complete Response In Lung Adenocarcinoma With Symptomatic Brain Metastasis After Systematic Therapy: A Case Study.

Patients diagnosed as lung adenocarcinoma with brain metastasis usually result in poor prognosis with limited survival time. Palliative systematic therapy has emerged as the primary choice for non-small cell lung cancer patients with brain metastasis harboring wild-type drive genes. However, the objective response rate and long-term survival for patients treated with this therapy remained unsatisfied.

Meta-analysis for the efficacy of S-1-based regimens as the first-line treatment in Asian chemotherapy-naive patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer.

Aim: We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety for S-1-based regimens as the first-line treatment in Asian chemotherapy-naive patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer.

Patients & Methods: Eligible randomized clinical trials (RCTs) were included, of which data were extracted by inclusion criteria and exclusion one. Odds ratio and hazard ratio (HR) of outcomes including objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and adverse effects (AEs) were explored for the final analysis.

A Case of Recurrent Hepatocellular Carcinoma Acquiring Complete Remission of Target Lesion With Treatment With Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most prevalent malignancies worldwide. Although surgery is known as the most promising radical treatment, a high recurrent or metastatic rate after surgery has limited its clinical efficacy. Sorafenib, a target agent, has seemed to be the only option for metastatic HCC patients to date, but none of clinical trials showed it could prolong the overall survival (OS) of advanced HCC to 1 year.
