The synergistic targeting of DNA damage and DNA repair is a promising strategy for the development of new chemotherapeutic agents for human lung cancer. The DNA interstrand cross-linking agent BO-1509, a derivative of 3a-aza-cyclopenta[α]indene, was synthesized and combined with the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor LY294002 to treat human lung cancer cells. Our results showed that the BO-1509 and LY294002 combination synergistically killed lung cancer cells in culture and also suppressed the growth of lung cancer xenografts in mice, including those derived from gefitinib-resistant cells. We also found that LY294002 suppressed the induction of several DNA repair proteins by BO-1509 and inhibited the nuclear translocation of Rad51. On the basis of the results of the γH2AX foci formation assays, LY294002 apparently inhibited the repair of DNA damage that was induced by BO-1509. According to the complete blood profile, biochemical enzyme analysis, and histopathologic analysis of major organs, no apparent toxicity was observed in mice treated with BO-1509 alone or in combination with LY294002. Our results suggest that the combination of a DNA cross-linking agent with a PI3K inhibitor is a feasible strategy for the treatment of patients with lung cancer.

Purpose: Clinical variables alone have limited ability to determine which patients will have recurrence after radical prostatectomy (RP). We evaluated the ability of locked multimodal artificial intelligence (MMAI) algorithms trained on prostate biopsy specimens to predict prostate cancer specific mortality (PCSM) and overall survival (OS) among patients undergoing radical prostatectomy with digitized RP specimens.

Materials And Methods: The Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian Cancer Screening Randomized Controlled Trial randomized subjects from 1993-2001 to cancer screening or control.

Purpose: Trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) is currently approved for treating metastatic breast cancer (MBC) which is HER2-positive (immunohistochemistry [IHC] score of 3+ or ISH positivity) or HER2-low (IHC score of 1+ or IHC 2+/ISH negative), as well as for HER2-positive gastric cancer, HER2-mutant lung cancer, and HER2 overexpressing solid tumors. Given the increasing utilization of T-DXd, we sought to determine how HER2 receptor status might change following T-DXd therapy.

Design: We retrospectively reviewed patients with MBC who received T-DXd at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.

Purpose: Recent clinical advances with the approval of antibody-drug conjugates targeting Trop-2 such as sacituzumab-govitecan and datopotomab-deruxtecan have garnered tremendous interest for their therapeutic efficacy in numerous tumor types including breast and lung cancers. ImmunoPET can stratify tumor avidity, clarifying patient eligibility for ADC therapy as well as a diagnostic companion during therapy. Slow antibody circulation requires days to reach optimal imaging timepoints.

Aim: This study aimed to identify the genes associated with the development of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and potential therapeutic targets.

Methods: Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified by self-transcriptome sequencing of tumor tissues and paracancerous tissues resected during surgery and combined with The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data to screen for the genes associated with LUAD prognosis. The expression was validated at mRNA and protein levels, and the gene knockdown was used to examine the impact and underlying mechanisms on lung cancer cells.

Candidate Biomarker of Response to Immunotherapy In Small Cell Lung Cancer.

Small-cell lung cancer accounts for about 15% of lung cancers with an extremely poor prognosis. The incorporation of immunotherapy to platinum-based chemotherapy offers sustained overall survival benefits and become the standard for the first-line setting of extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer. However, only a limited number of patients derive prolonged benefits.
