Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a hematological disorder characterized by the abnormal activation of the coagulation system, which leads to widespread clotting and subsequent consumption coagulopathy. DIC is often associated with the progression of prostate cancer and can be a life-threatening condition. In this case report, we present a patient with recurrent DIC in the setting of advanced prostate cancer.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality globally, with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounting for 85% of cases. Despite advancements in first-line treatments such as immunotherapy and targeted therapies, resistance to these treatments is common, creating a significant unmet need for effective second-line therapies. This review evaluates current and emerging second-line therapeutic options for advanced or metastatic NSCLC, focusing on their efficacy and potential to improve patient outcomes.

Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) and their receptors regulate numerous cellular processes, such as metabolism and signal transduction, but can also drive tumorigenesis. Specifically, in lung cancer, the overexpression of FGFs, as well as the amplification, mutation and fusion of FGFR genes, are closely linked to the initiation, progression and resistance of the disease, suggesting that targeting FGF/FGFR is an attractive therapeutic strategy for lung cancer treatment. Nintedanib, a multitarget tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) used in combination with docetaxel, has shown some success as a second-line therapy for lung cancer.
