Background: Resistance to chemoimmunotherapy in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) necessitates effective prognostic biomarkers. Although F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) has shown potential for efficacy assessment, it has been mainly evaluated in immuno-monotherapy setting, lacking elaborations in the scenarios of immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy. To tackle this dilemma, we aimed to build a non-invasive PET/CT-based model for stratifying tumor heterogeneity and predicting survival in advanced NSCLC patients undergoing chemoimmunotherapy.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of [F]AlF-NOTA-FAPI-04 PET/CT for pathological response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NCT) and prognosis in patients with locally advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (LAPDAC).

Methods: This study included 34 patients with histopathologically and radiologically confirmed LAPDAC who received [F]AlF-NOTA-FAPI-04 PET/CT scans before NCT. After 4-6 cycles of NCT, these patients underwent radical resection.

Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) causes impaired blood flow in both epicardial vessels and microvasculature and remains a leading cause of posttransplant morbidity and mortality. This study examined the prognostic value and outcomes of CAV, assessed by N-ammonia PET/CT myocardial perfusion imaging in heart transplant recipients. PET/CT and invasive coronary angiography (ICA) were graded using validated scales.

In the past few years, three protein molecules-USP53, NPY2R, and DCTN1-AS1-have garnered significant attention in scientific research due to their potential implications in tumor development. Mass spectrometry and proteomics techniques were used to analyze the three-dimensional structure of these protein molecules and predict their active sites and functional domains. The effects of USP53, NPY2R and DCTN1-AS1 on biological behavior of tumor cells were studied by constructing gene knockout and overexpression cell models.

Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) is a lymphatic cancer of steadily growing incidence. Its diagnostic and follow-up rely on the analysis of clinical biomarkers and 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-PET/CT images. In this context, we target the problem of assisting in the early identification of high-risk DLBCL patients from both images and tabular clinical data.
