Stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) presents diverse outcomes. To identify molecular features leading to tumor recurrence in early-stage NSCLC, we perform multiregional whole-exome sequencing (WES), RNA sequencing, and plasma-targeted circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) detection analysis between recurrent and recurrent-free stage I NSCLC patients (CHN-P cohort) who had undergone R0 resection with a median 5-year follow-up time. Integrated analysis indicates that the multidimensional clinical and genomic model can stratify the prognosis of stage I NSCLC in both CHN-P and EUR-T cohorts and correlates with positive pre-surgical deep next generation sequencing (NGS) ctDNA detection. Increased genomic instability related to DNA interstrand crosslinks and double-strand break repair processes is significantly associated with early tumor relapse. This study reveals important molecular insights into stage I NSCLC and may inform clinical postoperative treatment and follow-up strategies.

Immune dysfunction is one of the hallmarks of cancer and plays critical roles in immunotherapy resistance, but there is no serum biomarker that can be used to evaluate immune-dysfunction status of cancer patients. Here, we identified subtype-specific human endogenous retrovirus K102 envelope (HERV-K102-Env) with immunosuppressive activity in circulating blood as a novel serum immunosuppressive biomarker of cancer. We first generated monoclonal antibodies against K102-Env with high sensitivity and specificity, and we developed an ELISA assay to detect serum K102-Env.

Background Lung cancer is the most frequent cause of cancer-related deaths and the most common type of cancer globally. It is generally classified into two main histologic subtypes: non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC). NSCLC is the most prevalent type and is enriched with genetic and molecular diversity.

Background: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Therefore, the search for new biomarkers continues in order to diagnose lung cancer at an early stage. In this study, we investigated blood levels of G-protein associated membrane estrogen receptor (GPER)-1 and Raftlin as markers of early-stage in lung cancer.

Background: Immuno-chemotherapy has demonstrated significant anti-tumor effects in patients with resectable nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Additionally, for patients initially diagnosed with unresectable stage III NSCLC, induction immuno-chemotherapy may achieve tumor downstaging, enabling conversion to resectable disease allowing for by R0 resection. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness and safety of induction immuno-chemotherapy followed by conversion surgery in unresectable stage III NSCLC.

Aims: To assess the robustness of 4D-optimised IMPT and PAT plans against interplay effects in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with respiratory motion over 10 mm, and to provide insights into the use of proton-based stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for lung cancer with significant tumour movement.
Materials And Methods: Fourteen patients with early-stage NSCLC and tumour motion >10 mm were selected. Three hypofraction regimens were generated using 4D robust optimisation with the IMPT and PAT techniques.
