Objective: To relieve large airway obstruction in a patient with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) by injecting the mouse-human chimeric monoclonal antibody radiolabeled with iodine 131 chimeric tumor necrotic treatment (131I-chTNT) and to study the irradiation absorption in the tumor and critical organs.
Methods: A 50-year-old patient with NSCLC was treated with radioimmunotherapy. His airway was still obstructed in spite of intensive chemotherapy and radiotherapy.131I-chTNT was injected into the tumor at the right bronchus through a fiberscope. A131I scan was performed during treatment, and a computed tomography (CT) scan of the chest and fiberscope were performed pre- and post-treatment.131I-chTNT distribution in tissues was followed for up to 4 weeks using gamma camera imaging.
Results: The radiation material accumulated notably in the tumor, relieving the patient's symptoms by suppressing the tumor. Recanalization of the airway was achieved so that the patient was able to breathe easily and cough.
Conclusion: As a new type of radioimmunotherapy,131I-chTNT may be helpful in treatment of advanced lung cancer.

TIGIT and PVRIG are immune checkpoints co-expressed on activated T and NK cells, contributing to tumor immune evasion. Simultaneous blockade of these pathways may enhance therapeutic efficacy, positioning them as promising dual targets for cancer immunotherapy. This study aimed to develop a bispecific antibody (BsAb) to co-target TIGIT and PVRIG.

Objectives: Despite the widely recognised high mortality rate among patients with hip fracture, the variation in death rates by gender and cause has been less explored. This study aimed to investigate mortality rates and causes of death in patients who underwent hip fracture surgery, and to compare them with those of the general population. A secondary objective was to compare the results of Internal Fixation versus Arthroplasty in these patients.

Background: Dysbiosis of the lung microbiome can contribute to the initiation and progression of lung cancer. Synchronous multiple primary lung cancer (sMPLC) is an increasingly recognized subtype of lung cancer characterized by high morbidity, difficulties in early detection, poor prognosis, and substantial clinical challenges. However, the relationship between sMPLC pathogenesis and changes in the lung microbiome remains unclear.

Immune dysfunction is one of the hallmarks of cancer and plays critical roles in immunotherapy resistance, but there is no serum biomarker that can be used to evaluate immune-dysfunction status of cancer patients. Here, we identified subtype-specific human endogenous retrovirus K102 envelope (HERV-K102-Env) with immunosuppressive activity in circulating blood as a novel serum immunosuppressive biomarker of cancer. We first generated monoclonal antibodies against K102-Env with high sensitivity and specificity, and we developed an ELISA assay to detect serum K102-Env.

Background: Thoracic SMARCA4-deficient undifferentiated tumors (SMARCA4-UT) exhibit a notably aggressive phenotype, which is associated with poor patient survival outcomes. These tumors are generally resistant to conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy, thereby limiting the availability of effective treatment options.
Case Presentation: We describe a 69-year-old AIDS patient who initially presented with a fused, enlarged lymph node on the right clavicle and mild, unexplained pain under the right axilla that worsened with severe coughing episodes.
