Aim: This study compared the results of nivolumab treatment in patients with pulmonary adenocarcinomas based upon previous chemotherapeutic regimens.

Patients And Methods: The data source for this retrospective study was the Czech VILP registry of patients with nivolumab-treated adenocarcinomas in second and higher lines of treatment. In relation to objective response rate, progression-free interval, and overall survival, three comparisons of patient were made: A: Those treated in first line with cisplatin and pemetrexed versus carboplatin with paclitaxel or vinorelbine; B: treatment with cisplatin and pemetrexed versus carboplatin with paclitaxel/vinorelbine and bevacizumab; and C: treatment in previous lines with pemetrexed (first-line cisplatin and pemetrexed plus those treated in second line with pemetrexed) versus treatment with taxane (first-line carboplatin and paclitaxel only plus those treated with second-line docetaxel).

Results: We observed no differences in objective response rate or progression-free survival between patients treated with the stated chemotherapeutic regimens. We observed a trend towards better overall survival for patients treated with carboplatin plus taxanes or vinorelbine with/without bevacizumab.

Conclusion: From our overall survival data, a chemotherapeutic regimen of carboplatin plus taxanes or vinorelbine with/without bevacizumab might be a better partner for immunotherapy than a cisplatin and pemetrexed-based one.

Purpose: Platinum-based chemotherapy is the standard treatment for advanced urothelial carcinoma (aUC). Switch maintenance therapy after first-line (1L) treatment may delay disease progression. This study evaluated pemetrexed as switch maintenance therapy versus observation in aUC patients without disease progression after initial chemotherapy.

Background: The absolute overall survival (OS) improvement with preoperative chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy in locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients is controversial and unsatisfactory. We designed this trial to explore the efficacy and safety of perioperative sintilimab plus platinum-based chemotherapy for potentially resectable stage IIIB NSCLC to facilitate further optimization of this therapeutic strategy.

Methods: Patients diagnosed with stage IIIB NSCLC through invasive staging approaches and/or PET/CT scans and evaluated as having a high probability of radical resection of the primary lesion and metastatic lymph nodes with clear pathological margins by a multidisciplinary team were enrolled in this open-label, single-arm, phase II trial at a single centre in China.

Background: Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is primarily treated with a combination therapy based on lung pleurectomy in the early stage or pemetrexed combined with platinum-based chemotherapy in the late stage. However, these standard therapies do not significantly improve survival and are associated with significant adverse reactions.

Case Description: In February 2017, a 63-year-old male patient was admitted to Department of Thoracic Surgery, The Third Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University coughing for 1 month and experienced chest tightness and chest pain for 2 days.

Objectives: This retrospective study mainly analyzed the relationship between prostate tumor overexpressed 1 (PTOV1) and cytokeratin 19 fragment (Cyfra21-1) and neoadjuvant chemosensitivity in patients with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAC).

Methods: A total of 110 LUAC patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy (cisplatin 75 mg/m combined with pemetrexed 500 mg/m) from February 2022 to February 2024 were selected. They were divided into a chemoresistant group (n=32) and a chemosensitive group (n=78) based on treatment response, and their clinical data were analyzed.
