A shift toward a T cell exhaustion phenotype is associated with the upregulation of expression of programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) on T lymphocytes in patients with malignant solid tumors. The interaction between PD-1 and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibits PD-1 T lymphocyte function, impacting their anti-tumor immune activity. Immune checkpoint inhibitors targeting PD-1/PD-L1 have revolutionized the treatment of various solid malignancies, improving therapeutic efficacy and survival outcomes.

Background: Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare glandular malignancy, commonly originating in salivary glands of the head and neck. Given its protracted growth, ACC is usually diagnosed in advanced stage. Treatment of ACC is limited to surgery and/or adjuvant radiotherapy, which often fails to prevent disease recurrence, and no FDA-approved targeted therapies are currently available.

Lung cancer is the most common type of malignant tumor worldwide. Plasma-activated medium (PAM) is an innovative cancer treatment method that has received considerable scientific attention. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of PAM on the anti-tumor characteristics of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells in two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) cultures.

The metabolic interplay between macrophages and cancer cells mirrors the plasticity of both kinds of cells, which adapt to the microenvironment by sustaining cell growth and proliferation. In this way, cancer cells induce macrophage polarization, and, on the other hand, tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) contribute to the survival of cancer cells. In a simplified manner, macrophages can assume two opposite subtypes: M1, pro-inflammatory and anti-tumor phenotype, and M2, anti-inflammatory and protumor phenotype.
