Background: Cancer immunotherapy has revolutionized melanoma treatment, but the high number of non-responders still emphasizes the need for improvement of therapy. One potential avenue for enhancing anti-tumor treatment is through the modulation of coagulation and platelet activity. Both have been found to play an important role in the tumor microenvironment, tumor growth and metastasis.

In China, liver transplantation is an important discipline in the field of organ transplantation. China Liver Transplant Registry (CLTR) is a scientific project that has been set up to advance surgical techniques and procedures and to improve both short- and long-term post-transplant follow-up and outcome of the liver recipients. CLTR also serves as a robust data support platform for the National Liver Transplant Quality Control Center in the quest to upscale its quality control protocols.

Background: While immunotherapy has revolutionized oncological management, its efficacy in lung cancer patients with liver metastases remains limited, potentially due to the unique immunosuppressive microenvironment of the liver. Local liver treatment has been shown to enhance the immunotherapy response, and high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), a minimally invasive local treatment, has demonstrated promising results in combination with immunotherapy. However, clinical data regarding HIFU in lung cancer with liver metastases are limited.

Article Synopsis
  • Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has greatly improved treatments for coronary artery disease, but in-stent restenosis (ISR) remains a significant issue, especially when complicated by calcification.
  • Various techniques exist for treating calcified ISR, including super-high-pressure balloon dilation, atherectomy methods, and intravascular lithotripsy (IVL).
  • This case report discusses a patient with severe, calcified ISR in a large artery, showcasing the use of shockwave lithotripsy combined with balloon dilation to improve stent expansion, highlighting the effectiveness of innovative approaches for difficult ISR cases.

Long-term outcomes of PARP inhibitors in ovarian cancer: survival, adverse events, and post-progression insights.

Poly-ADP-ribose polymerase inhibitors (PARPis) have revolutionized the management of BRCA-mutated (BRCA) and homologous recombination deficiency (HRD)-positive ovarian cancer (OC). While long-term analyses clearly support the use of PARPi as maintenance therapy after first-line chemotherapy, recent data have raised concerns on detrimental overall survival (OS) in non-BRCA OC, a greater incidence of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and unfavorable outcomes following subsequent platinum-based chemotherapy in pretreated OC patients. In this report we discuss the long-term follow-up results from phase III trials in pretreated OC patients, which led to the Food and Drug Administration's withdrawal of PARPi indications in this setting.
