Data are limited on PD-L1 expression and its association with overall survival (OS) in gastric cancer (GC) patients receiving routine care in different regions. In a retrospective study, PD-L1 expression was assayed using the 22C3 pharmDx on GC tumor samples collected between 2003 and 2017 at South Korean and US cancer centers. PD-L1 positivity was defined as combined positive score (CPS) ≥1. The relationship between PD-L1 and OS was analyzed. Of 574 GC tumor samples, 67.4% were CPS ≥1 (68.7% in Korean and 65.7% in US patients). PD-L1 expression was not associated with OS (adjusted hazard ratio: 0.94; 95% CI: 0.75-1.17). PD-L1 prevalence and its association with OS was similar between South Korean and US GC patients.

Background: The second-line treatment of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) of unknown primary origin remains uncertain. This report presented a patient who received octreotide plus IBI-318 plus anlotinib as a second-line treatment for multiple metastatic NETs of unknown primary lesions after the failure of octreotide plus everolimus.
Case Presentation: A 32-year-old male patient presented with elevated CEA (197.

Introduction: Pediatric sarcomas, including osteosarcoma (OS), Ewing sarcoma (EwS) and rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) carry low somatic mutational burden and low MHC-I expression, posing a challenge for T cell therapies. Our previous study showed that mediators of monocyte maturation sensitized the EwS cell line A673 to lysis by HLA-A*02:01/CHM1-specific allorestricted T cell receptor (TCR) transgenic CD8 T cells (CHM1 CD8 T cells).
Methods: In this study, we tested a panel of monocyte maturation cytokines for their ability to upregulate immunogenic cell surface markers on OS, EwS and RMS cell lines, using flow cytometry.

Background: In triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), the most immunogenic breast cancer type, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) are an independent prognostic factor. Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) are an important TILs source, but they are not integrated in the current prognostic criteria.
Methods: In this retrospective study, TLS were assessed in hematein-eosin-saffron-stained (HES) histological sections from 397 early, chemotherapy-naive TNBC samples after primary surgical resection.

Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) treatment have shown high efficacy for about 15 cancer types. However, this therapy is only effective in 20-30% of cancer patients. Thus, the precise biomarkers of ICI response are an urgent need.

Silicosis is a severe interstitial lung disease resulting from prolonged exposure to silica dust in working environment, characterized by inflammation and fibrosis. This condition is closely associated with immune dysregulation, although the precise regulatory mechanisms remain elusive. Immune checkpoints (ICs) comprise receptor-ligand pairs crucial for immune cell activation and coordination of immune responses.
