Purpose: overexpression/amplification in wild-type (WT) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC; human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 [HER2]-positive mCRC) appears to be associated with limited benefit from anti-EGFR antibodies and promising responses to dual-HER2 inhibition; however, comparative efficacy has not been investigated. We conducted a randomized phase II trial to evaluate efficacy and safety of dual-HER2 inhibition against standard-of-care anti-EGFR antibody-based therapy as second/third-line treatment in HER2-positive mCRC.
Methods: Patients with -WT mCRC after central confirmation of HER2 positivity (immunohistochemistry 3+ or 2+ and in situ hybridization amplified [HER2/CEP17 ratio >2.

Purpose: We investigated the factors that affect the occurrence of sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) and the effect of SOS on the patient's perioperative outcomes through histological review of liver resection specimens from patients who underwent chemotherapy.
Methods: From December 2007 to December 2020, liver specimens from patients who underwent liver resection for colorectal liver metastasis after neoadjuvant chemotherapy were analyzed regarding liver damage in the nontumorous lesion. Through pathological review, patients with grade 1-3 sinusoidal dilatation were categorized into the SOS (+) group, compared to a control group (grade 0, SOS [-]).

Objectives: To evaluate the oncological efficacy and complications of cryoablation (CA) in treating lung metastases from colorectal cancer (CRC) at the lung periphery.
Materials And Methods: The inclusion criteria for this bicenter retrospective study included patients with histologically confirmed CRC, with radiologically confirmed lung metastases at the periphery of the lung (distance of less than or equal to 2 cm from the costal, diaphragmatic, or cervical pleura) treated with CA between January 2017 and June 2022. Patients with intra-parenchymal metastases or metastases close to the mediastinal pleura and patients without follow-up were excluded.

Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL) is a relatively rare form of indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, termed Waldenström's macroglobulinaemia (WM) in the presence of an IgM paraprotein. Although traditionally treated with combination chemoimmunotherapy, the management is evolving in the era of targeted molecular therapies including Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKi). However, intolerance and refractoriness to BTKi mean newer agents are required, and the prognosis of so-called quadruple-refractory patients is poor.

The effect of immune-based therapies on patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-positive advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) resistant to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy remains unclear. The ALTER-L038 study aimed to evaluate efficacy and safety of a chemotherapy-free combination of benmelstobart, an anti-programmed cell death ligand 1 antibody, and anlotinib, a small-molecule multi-target anti-angiogenic TKI, in EGFR-positive advanced NSCLC patients who progressed after EGFR TKI therapy. Patients were enrolled in a phase I/II study.
