Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a novel type of endogenous RNAs and increasing evidence have uncovered the important role of circRNA in tumor progression; however, the function of circRNAs in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains largely unclear. In the present study, it was demonstrated that the expression level of hsa_circ_0033155 was significantly downregulated in NSCLC tissue and the expression of hsa_circ_0033155 correlated with lymphatic metastasis. In order to further investigate the possible role of hsa_circ_0033155 in NSCLC progression, circRNA was overexpressed in NSCLC cells and it was observed that the overexpression of hsa_circ_0033155 significantly decreased cell proliferation, colony formation and migration, and elevated the level of phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10, a tumor suppressor in many types of tumor. In conclusion, hsa_circ_0033155 may serve as a prospective biomarker for detection and a promising therapeutic target for NSCLC.

Purpose: Brentuximab vedotin (BV) is hypothesized to selectively deplete T regulatory cells (Tregs) that express CD30 and re-sensitize tumors to anti-(PD-1) therapy. This study evaluated responses to BV+pembrolizumab post PD-1 and explored corresponding biomarkers.

Methods: 55 patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and 58 with metastatic cutaneous melanoma received ≥1 dose of BV+pembrolizumab.

Background: The treatment landscape of non-metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NM-NSCLC) is rapidly evolving with recent approvals of immunotherapies and targeted therapies.

Methods: This retrospective study included 202 adults diagnosed with NM-NSCLC between 1 January 2018 and 31 December 2020 primarily aiming to capture initial management strategies.

Results: Most frequent treatment patterns among Stage I/II patients ( = 84) were surgery only (48.

A male in his seventies presented with lung cancer in the right lower lobe. The surgically resected specimen revealed a pleomorphic carcinoma featuring an adenocarcinoma component with lepidic, acinar, and papillary patterns, alongside a spindle cell component spreading along the pulmonary artery wall, resembling intimal sarcoma. The spindle tumor cells were positive for keratins, TTF-1, napsin A, and vimentin, but negative for p40, CK14, desmin, alpha-smooth muscle actin, CDK4, and MDM2.

Introduction: Immunotherapy targeting PD-1/PD-L1 shows significant benefits in lung cancer. Cutaneous immune-related adverse events (irAEs) are frequent, early-developing side effects of ICIs, and their potential role as prognostic markers in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) therapy requires further exploration.

Methods: Data of patients with NSCLC treated with camrelizumab Combined with chemotherapy were collected at Xuzhou Medical University from 2019 to 2023.

Purpose: (Tumor-educated platelets) TEPs have emerged as active players in all steps of tumorigenesis, confrontation of platelets with tumor cells via transfer of tumor-associated biomolecules and results in the sequestration of such biomolecules. The current study was aimed to examine whether TEPs lncRNA-STARD4-AS1 and ELOA-AS1 might be potential biomarkers for NSCLC.

Materials And Methods: TEPs were obtained by low-speed centrifugation.
