We performed capsule endoscopy for a patient with immune checkpoint inhibitor-induced enteritis and found multiple erosions or small ulcers in the small intestine. No reports demonstrated the effectiveness of capsule endoscopy for immune checkpoint inhibitor-induced gastrointestinal adverse events, and our case suggests that capsule endoscopy may be useful to evaluate immune checkpoint inhibitor-induced enteritis.

Introduction: The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) has emerged as a promising prognostic marker in various malignancies. However, its prognostic significance in patients with small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) remains unclear. In this study, we evaluated the prognostic impact of the SII in patients with SCLC after ICI use.

Advances in Novel Targeted Therapies for Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma.

J Gastrointest Cancer

January 2025

Department of Medical Oncology, Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, Toronto, ON, Canada.

Purpose: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly aggressive malignancy with limited therapeutic options and poor prognosis. Recent advances in targeted therapies have opened new avenues for intervention in PDAC, focusing on key genetic and molecular pathways that drive tumor progression.

Methods: In this review, we provide an overview on advances in novel targeted therapies in pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

Purpose: The combination therapy of lenvatinib and immunotherapy as first-line treatment remains controversial in unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (uHCC). This research aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of lenvatinib monotherapy (L) and combination therapy of lenvatinib and immune checkpoint inhibitor (LI) in lenvatinib-insensitive patients with uHCC.

Methods: Two hundred fifty-five uHCC patients were enrolled in this study.

Immunotherapy for advanced-stage squamous cell lung cancer: the state of the art and outstanding questions.

Nat Rev Clin Oncol

Department of Thoracic/Head and Neck Medical Oncology, the University of Texas, MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX, USA.

Immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have transformed the treatment paradigm for advanced-stage squamous non-small-cell lung cancer (LUSC), a histological subtype associated with inferior outcomes compared with lung adenocarcinoma. However, only a subset of patients derive durable clinical benefit. In the first-line setting, multiple ICI regimens are available, including anti-PD-(L)1 antibodies as monotherapy, in combination with chemotherapy, or with an anti-CTLA4 antibody with or without chemotherapy.

Purpose: Tumor/node/metastasis staging and prognostic index (PI) are used to predict prognosis and guide treatment for anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC). With the advent of treatments, such as BRAF/MEK inhibitors and immune checkpoint inhibitors, dynamic markers to assess disease status and treatment efficacy are needed. This study examined the utility of PI as a dynamic marker for ATC treatment.
