: This network meta-analysis aimed at comparing anti-programmed death 1 (anti-PD-1) with anti-programmed death ligand 1(anti-PD-L1) immunotherapy in patients with metastatic, previously treated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who failed first-line treatment. : We searched electronic databases to identify all eligible clinical trials. End-points included overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS) and objective response.

GC and normal adjacent tissues were collected from 273 GC patients. Human gastric cancer cell line (MGC803) and normal human gastric mucosal cell line (GES-1) were cultured.

Purpose: To investigate the antitumor activity and mechanism of chloroquine (CQ) in combination with cisplatin (DDP) in nude mice xenografted with gastric cancer SGC7901 cells.
Materials And Methods: 35 cases of gastric cancer patients with malignant ascites were enrolled and intraperitoneal cisplatin injection was performed. Ascites were collected before and 5 days after perfusion for assessment of autophagy levels in cancer cells.

We aimed to investigate the mechanism and effects of autophagy on cisplatin (DDP)-induced apoptosis in human gastric cancer cell line SGC7901. After SGC7901 cells were treated with DDP and/or chloroquine, cell proliferation was measured using MTT assay; cell apoptosis was determined by flow cytometry; autophagy and apotosis-related proteins expression were detected by Western blot; and quantitative analysis of autophagy after monodansylcadaverine (MDC) staining was performed using fluorescence microscopy. We found after treatment with 5 mg/L DDP for 24 h, the rates of cell apoptosis were (21.

Methods: P-gp function was investigated by flow cytometry in NK cells of 16 breast cancer patients treated with anthracyclines and taxanes. Among all the patients, 8 were in chemotherapy-sensitive group and 8 in chemotherapy-resistant group.

Objective: To analyse the clinical features and prognostic factors of small breast cancer patient (T < or =2 cm) with multiple axillary lymph node metastasis (N > or =4).
Methods: The data of 118 small breast cancer patients (T < or =2 cm) with multiple axillary lymph node metastasis (N > or =4) surgically treated from 1993 to 2003 were retrospectively analysed by SPSS 13.0 software.
