High-dose radiation induces dendritic cells maturation by promoting immunogenic cell death in nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Aim And Background: Due to the radiosensitivity and deep anatomical location of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), radiotherapy serves as the cornerstone of standardized treatment for this malignancy. Beyond its cytotoxic effects, radiotherapy can serve as an immunological adjuvant by inducing immunogenic cell death (ICD). Dendritic cells (DCs), as potent antigen-presenting cells, play a critical role in tumor immunotherapy, but their exact role in the ICD process of NPC remains unclear.

Transformation from acquired EGFR 19del/C797S to EGFR 19del/T790M in an advanced non-small cell lung cancer patient: a case report and literature review.

Third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) are the first-line treatment of choice for patients with EGFR-mutant advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, patients treated with these inhibitors eventually develop resistance. One of the most common mechanisms is the emergence of the EGFR C797S mutation.
