Lymph node metastasis is a major adverse prognostic factor of malignant tumors, including non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). However the characterization of tumor associated lymphatic vessels and lymphangiogenic mediators in NSCLC are recent and their prognostic role is debated. Lymphatic vascular invasion (LVI) appears like a robust adverse prognostic factor when reported in NSCLC. This parameter should be better standardized and could be of use in adjuvant therapy indications. Moreover, anti-lymphangiogenesis therapies are currently under investigation and may become part of the anti-cancer strategy.

Objectives: The pairing of immunotherapy and radiotherapy in the treatment of locally advanced nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has shown promise. By combining radiotherapy with immunotherapy, the synergistic effects of these modalities not only bolster antitumor efficacy but also exacerbate lung injury. Consequently, developing a model capable of accurately predicting radiotherapy- and immunotherapy-related pneumonitis in lung cancer patients is a pressing need.

Background: The incidence and mortality of lung cancer are high, and treatment with epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) is the preferred first-line treatment for patients suffering from non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with EGFR mutations. However, EGFR-TKI resistance leads to treatment failure. Yifei-Sanjie pill (YFSJ) is a novel type of Chinese patent medicine for lung cancer.

Introduction: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Despite advancements in early detection and treatment, postsurgical recurrence remains a significant challenge, occurring in 30%-55% of patients within 5 years after surgery. This review analysed existing studies on the utilisation of artificial intelligence (AI), incorporating CT, PET, and clinical data, for predicting recurrence risk in early-stage NSCLCs.

Background: Prior research indicates a connection between immune-related adverse events (irAEs) and improved progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in non-small cell lung cancer. However, limited data exists for extensive stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC).
Methods: This study included all ES-SCLC patients who received at least one dose of an immune checkpoint inhibitor between 2 January 2011 and 4 July 2022 using a large retrospective registry from a single institution.

Background: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) predominantly affects older adults; these patients have significant comorbidities, making them unsuitable for chemotherapy. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) along with anlotinib combination therapy as a first-line treatment in older NSCLC patients with programmed death ligand-1(PD-L1) expression＜50%.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective observational study including 73 patients with advanced NSCLC treated at Nanjing Brain Hospital.
