fMRI used to observe the acute craniocerebral response of esophageal cancer related depressive patients treated by rTMS: Initial experience.

To observe the immediate craniocerebral response, changes of spontaneous nerve activity and functional connection after repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in esophageal cancer patients with depression (ECPD) by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and to explore the therapeutic effect, neuroactivity response and mechanism. Eleven patients with ECPD were enrolled to treated with single rTMS. The patients were examined by fMRI before and after the treatment.

Low-dose radiotherapy combined with immunotherapy for suboral adenoid cystic carcinoma with bilateral lung metastasis: A case report and literature review.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a type of malignant tumor arising from the salivary glands. The tumor is characterized by a predilection for recurrence and metastasis. At present, there is no effective treatment for ACC complicated with lung metastasis.

PD-1 inhibitors versus chemotherapy as second-line treatment for advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: a meta-analysis.

Background: Aim to establish the inhibitors of programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) as second-line therapy for advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).

Methods: Published clinical trials in the PubMed, Medline, Embase databases on PD-1 inhibitors for the treatment of ESCC were searched, along with an additional search on abstracts from the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) from inception to September 2021. Overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), and treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were synthesized using STATA.
