Lung cancer is the third most prevalent cancer, following breast cancer in women and prostate cancer in men. However, it remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality. As treatment options have advanced, the significance of accurate diagnosis has increased, enabling targeted and more personalized therapeutic treatments.

Objective: Current biomarkers for predicting immunotherapy response in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are derived from invasive procedures with limited predictive accuracy. Thus, identifying a non-invasive predictive biomarker would improve patient stratification and precision immunotherapy.
Methods And Analysis: In this retrospective multicohort study, the discovery cohort included 205 NSCLC patients screened from ORIENT-11 and an external validation (EV) cohort included 99 real-world NSCLC patients.

Objective: Investigate whether routinely collected electronic patient-reported outcome measures (ePROMs) add prognostic value to clinical and tumour characteristics for adults with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) receiving immunotherapy.
Methods And Analysis: We retrospectively analysed data from adults with advanced NSCLC commencing immunotherapy between April 2019 and June 2022. Prognostic factors were ePROMs on quality of life (EuroQoL five-dimension five-level (EQ-5D-5L); EuroQoL Visual Analogue Scale (EQ-VAS)) and symptoms (patient-reported version of the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v5.
Objective: Fluoropyrimidine chemotherapy is a first-line treatment for many gastrointestinal (GI) cancers, however, cardiotoxicity concerns may limit administration in patients with pre-existing cardiovascular disease (CVD). This study investigated the association of pre-existing CVD with use of fluoropyrimidine chemotherapy in tumour-eligible GI cancer patients.
Methods And Analysis: National cancer registry data from the Virtual Cardio-Oncology Research Initiative from England between 2014 and 2018 was used to identify GI cancer patients eligible to receive fluoropyrimidine chemotherapy.
