Background/aim: Ran binding protein microtubule-organizing centre (RanBPM), also known as RanBP9, is a scaffold protein conserved through evolution. We investigated the role of RanBPM in human lung cancer.

Materials And Methods: Transcripts of RanBPM were determined in 56 human lung cancers along with paired normal lung tissues using real-time PCR. Association with prognosis was analyzed by online Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. In vitro lung cancer cell functional assays examined the impact of RanBPM-knockdown on cellular growth and invasion.

Results: Higher expression of RanBPM was observed in tumor when compared to paired normal lung tissues. Increased RanBPM expression was seen in patients with longer overall and disease-free survival. Knockdown of RanBPM in lung cancer cell lines resulted in increased growth and invasion in vitro.

Conclusion: Increased expression of RanBPM associates with postponed disease progression and better prognosis. RanBPM plays an inhibitory role in regulating proliferation and invasion of lung cancer cells.

Importance: The optimal configuration of a smoking cessation intervention in a lung cancer screening (LCS) setting has not yet been established.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of 3 tobacco treatment strategies of increasing integration and intensity in the LCS setting.

Design, Setting, And Participants: In this randomized clinical trial, LCS-eligible current smokers were randomized into 3 treatments: quitline (QL), QL plus (QL+), or integrated care (IC).

Background: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in China, and pembrolizumab shows differential efficacy in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with different PD-L1 expression levels.

Aim: To assess the cost-effectiveness of PD-L1 testing associated with pembrolizumab for first-line treatment of NSCLC from the perspective of Chinese healthcare system.

Method: Over a lifetime horizon, a three-state partitioned survival model was developed to assess the cost-effectiveness of PD-L1 testing and no PD-L1 testing.

Background: Fumarate hydratase-deficient renal cell carcinoma (FHRCC) is an aggressive carcinoma that typically presents as advanced-stage disease. Prompt recognition of FHRCC is critical for appropriate clinical care and genetic counseling for patients and family members. However, diagnosing FHRCC from cytology specimens is challenging, with limited characterization and no reports describing prospectively identified cases.
