Lung cancer shows a tendency of higher incidence and higher mortality in recent years, but the overall 5-year survival rate is less than 15%. Serum tumor markers of lung cancer play an important role in early diagnosis, determining of pathology types, staging, evaluation of response, and prognosis of lung cancer. In this review, 6 most important markers were reviewed, including neuron-specific enolase (NSE), pro-gastrin-releasing peptide (ProGRP), cytokeratin 19 fragments (Cyfra 21-1), tissue polypeptide antigen (TPA), squamous cell carcinoma associated antigen (SCC-Ag), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA).

Background: Lipids are known to be involved in carcinogenesis, but the associations between lipid profiles and different lung cancer histological classifications remain unknown.
Methods: Individuals who participated in national adult health surveillance from 2012 to 2018 were included. For patients who developed lung cancer during follow-up, a 1:2 control group of nonlung cancer participants was selected after matching.

Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) combined with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) have been the standard first-line treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the efficacy of this combination in post-line treatment is still unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination of anti-PD-L1 envafolimab and novel humanized anti-VEGF suvemcitug as second-line treatment for patients with HCC.

Cancer is a major global health issue that is usually treated with multiple therapies, such as chemotherapy and targeted therapies like immunotherapy. Immunotherapy is a new and alternative approach to treating various types of cancer that are difficult to treat with other methods. Although immune checkpoint inhibitors have shown promise for long-term efficacy, they have limited effectiveness in common cancer types such as breast, prostate, and lung.
