Background: Anti-amyloid immunotherapies modestly slow disease progression in early symptomatic AD; addition of other therapeutic modalities may be necessary to achieve larger treatment effects. Therapies that directly target tau can potentially produce substantial clinical benefit because the accumulation of insoluble tau protein is strongly correlated with the progression of AD. Which tau therapies are likely to be efficacious, whether or not to combine them with anti-amyloid therapies, and which individuals are most likely to benefit are important unresolved questions that would require multiple parallel design trials to answer.

Although amyloid b immunotherapies offer great potential for prevention or delay of symptoms in dominantly inherited AD (DIAD), the mechanism of action of this class of medications does not address the underlying mechanism of most DIAD mutations. Moreover, the need for repeated IV infusions or sub-cutaneous injections with Ab immunotherapies may prove challenging for long-term prevention approaches. The majority of DIAD mutations appear to affect the interaction of the gamma-secretase enzyme with the Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP) making this enzyme an attractive target for disease modification.

Background: Sinonasal mucosal melanoma has poor survival despite multimodality treatment. While the impact of immunotherapy (IT) on metastatic cutaneous melanoma is well-defined, there are relatively little data on sinonasal mucosal melanoma.
Objective: We sought to define immunotherapy outcomes in patients with sinonasal mucosal melanoma.

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.

Resistance to the currently available treatment paradigms is one of the main factors that contributes to poor outcomes in patients with advanced cervical cancer. Novel targeted therapy approaches might enhance the patient's treatment outcome and are urgently needed for this malignancy. While chimeric-antigen receptor (CAR)-based adoptive immunotherapy displays a promising treatment strategy for liquid cancers, their use against cervical cancer is largely unexplored.
