Article Synopsis
  • Immunotherapy has transformed ovarian cancer treatment, but varying immune microenvironments limit its effectiveness; thus, identifying different immune subtypes is crucial for developing better therapies.
  • Researchers used consensus cluster analysis to categorize ovarian cancer patients into three immune subtypes, each with distinct clinical features, genetic mutations, and immune characteristics.
  • The study found the C2 subtype had the worst prognosis, linked to higher homologous recombination deficiency and mRNA stemness, suggesting that understanding these subtypes can enhance treatment strategies, especially with combination therapies.

EBV positive Diffuse Large B-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (EBV+DLBCL-NOS) referred to DLBCL with expression of EBV encoded RNA in tumor nucleus. EBV+DLBCL-NOS patients present with more advanced clinical stages and frequent extranodal involvement. Although rituximab-containing immunochemotherapy regimens can significantly improve outcomes in patients with EBV+DLBCL, the best first-line treatment needs to be further explored.

Background: Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) develops resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Here, we evaluated the efficacy of radiotherapy and continuation of TKIs in patients with advanced NSCLC with oligoprogression after EGFR-TKIs.

Methods: From January 2011 to January 2019, 33 patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC on TKIs were treated by radiotherapy and continuation of TKIs for oligoprogressive disease.

Lung cancer is the most lethal malignancy around the world and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for 80% of all cases. Most of the NSCLC patients has "driver gene mutations" and targeted therapy achieved a relatively good efficacy, but some patients progressed or relapsed after treatment. Previous studies demonstrated that immune checkpoint inhibitor could improve the prognosis of advanced-stage NSCLC and prolong the survival time.
