: This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of extracellular vesicles (EV) miRNAs for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).: All eligible studies were searched in an online database. Stata 15.0, Meta-disc 14.0 and Review Manager 5.2 software packages were used to perform all statistical analysis.: The analysis included 16 articles and 70 studies. Pooled sensitivity (SEN) and specificity (SPE), positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 0.77 (95% CI: 0.72-0.80), 0.83 (95% CI: 0.78-0.86), 0.88 (95% CI: 0.86-0.90) and 0.63 (95% CI: 0.58-0.68), respectively. The overall diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) was 16 (95% CI: 11-21) and the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.86 (95% CI: 0.83-0.89). 3 EV miRNAs could identify metastatic NSCLC from healthy, and 10 distinguish early-stage NSCLC. The respective targets of EV miR-21, miR-210, and miR-1290 could activate PI3K/AKT-related pathway.: EV miRNAs had high diagnostic accuracy (AUC = 0.86) for NSCLC, especially metastatic NSCLC (AUC = 0.90), and early-stage NSCLC (AUC = 0.88). Besides, multitudinous EV miRNAs combined showed higher diagnostic value than alone. EV miR-21, miR-210, and miR-1290 might be associated with PI3K/AKT-related pathway and the valuable diagnostic biomarkers for NSCLC.

Purpose: To compare the effectiveness and safety of CT-guided iodine-125 seed brachytherapy in conjunction with chemotherapy against chemotherapy alone for the management of intermediate and advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) lacking oncogenic driving genes.
Methods And Materials: Retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data from 128 patients diagnosed with intermediate and advanced non-small cell lung cancer who received iodine-125 combined with chemotherapy or chemotherapy alone due to the absence of oncogenic driver gene mutations. The patients in two groups were compared at 6-month follow-up for objective remission rate (ORR), Disease control rate (DCR), local progression-free survival (LPFS), overall survival (OS), clinical symptom improvement, and adverse events.

The pseudokinase HER3 emerges as a promising anti-cancer target, especially for HER2-driven breast cancer and EGFR-mediated non-small cell lung cancer. However, it is challenging to target HER3 by ATP-competitive small molecules because HER3 is catalytically impaired. Herein, we report the discovery of a series of HER3 degraders by connecting a HER3 binder bosutinib with a hydrophobic tag adamantane.

Next-generation cancer phenomics by deployment of multiple molecular endophenotypes coupled with high-throughput analyses of gene expression offer veritable opportunities for triangulation of discovery findings in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) research. This study reports differentially expressed genes in NSCLC using publicly available datasets (GSE18842 and GSE229253), uncovering 130 common genes that may potentially represent crucial molecular signatures of NSCLC. Additionally, network analyses by GeneMANIA and STRING revealed significant coexpression and interaction patterns among these genes, with four notable hub genes-, , and -identified as pivotal in NSCLC progression.

Purpose: Patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have varying responses to immunotherapy, but there are no reliable, accepted biomarkers to accurately predict its therapeutic efficacy. The present study aimed to construct individualized models through automatic machine learning (autoML) to predict the efficacy of immunotherapy in patients with inoperable advanced NSCLC.
Methods: A total of 63 eligible participants were included and randomized into training and validation groups.

Therapeutic hurdles persist in the fight against lung cancer, although it is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Results are still not up to par, even with the best efforts of conventional medicine, thus new avenues of investigation are required. Examining how immunotherapy, precision medicine, and AI are being used to manage lung cancer, this review shows how these tools can change the game for patients and increase their chances of survival.
