: This research aims to investigate the mechanisms of resistance to epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), particularly focusing on the role of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) within the tumor microenvironment (TME). : We employed an in vitro three-dimensional organoid model that mirrors the physiology of human lung cancer. These organoids consist of lung cancer cells harboring specific mutations, human mesenchymal stem cells, and human umbilical vein endothelial cells.

Article Synopsis
  • Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) are the main treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with specific EGFR mutations, but resistance to these drugs often develops.
  • Research is focusing on understanding the mechanisms behind this drug resistance and finding alternative treatment options.
  • Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are emerging as a new treatment option for late-stage NSCLC patients who have developed resistance to EGFR-TKIs, with studies investigating their effectiveness alone or in combination with other therapies.

Article Synopsis
  • EGFR-TKIs are crucial for treating advanced non-small-cell lung cancer with EGFR gene mutations, with five variants approved in Japan, including gefitinib, erlotinib, afatinib, dacomitinib, and osimertinib.
  • Osimertinib is the only EGFR-TKI approved for second-line therapy in patients with the T790M mutation after initial treatment, making it essential to choose the right first-line therapy carefully.
  • The article presents clinical data on EGFR-TKIs for first and second-line treatments, highlights the importance of patient and mutation subtype considerations, and shares experiences from transitioning between these therapies.

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.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study examines the evolving role of bevacizumab in treating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), especially as newer immunotherapy options become more popular.
  • - A thorough literature search was conducted to analyze the benefits and drawbacks of bevacizumab use in combination with other treatments, particularly in patients with central nervous system (CNS) metastases.
  • - Despite bevacizumab's historical significance as a breakthrough therapy in NSCLC, recent findings focus mainly on its use with patients having specific mutations, highlighting the need for further research to clarify its current position in treatment protocols.
