Background: To analyze the diagnostic value of computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) combined with serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), neuron-specific enolase (NSE), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), and N-myc (MYCN) in the diagnosis of pediatric neuroblastoma.
Methods: Fifty-two children diagnosed with neuroblastoma were selected as the neuroblastoma group. During the same period, 52 children who visited our hospital with abdominal distension, diarrhea, constipation, and vomiting but were finally excluded from neuroblastoma were selected as the control group.
Skin reaction or dermatological toxicities induced by immunotherapy is common. It usually manifests skin rash or erythema and can be cured by skin lotion or steroid. Nivolumab, a human IgG4 programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) inhibitor, blocks T cells activation preventing signal and allows the immune system to clear cancer cells.

Methods: In this phase 3, open-label, three-center study, we randomly assigned (1:1) previously treated with TKI-chemotherapy or chemotherapy-TKI recurrent or metastatic advanced non-squamous lung cancer patients into two groups. These patients had acquired EGFR T790M resistance mutation confirmed by tumor tissues or serum.
Purpose: To identify the somatic mutated genes for optimal targets of non-small-cell lung cancer after resistance to osimertinib treatment.
Patients And Methods: Study patients all had advanced lung adenocarcinoma and acquired resistance to osimertinib as a second- or third-line treatment. These patients had harboring EGFR T790M mutation before osimertinib treatment, which was confirmed by Amplification Refractory Mutation System (ARMS) PCR or Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS).
