Background And Objectives: Insulin resistance (IR) is closely related to non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) risk. Recently, triglyceride glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI) has been recognized as one of the simple indexes of insulin resistance (IR). However, there are limited data on the relationship between TyG-BMI and NSCLC. Here, we investigated the association of TyG-BMI with NSCLC risk in Chinese adults.
Methods: This study consisted of 477 NSCLC cases and 954 healthy subjects. All participants were enrolled from 3201 Hospital affiliated to the Medical Department of Xi'an Jiaotong University. TyG-BMI was calculated based on the values of fasting blood glucose, triglyceride, and BMI. The association of TyG-BMI with NSCLC risk was estimated by logistic regression analysis.
Results: The mean value of TyG-BMI was statistically increased in patients with NSCLC compared to the control group (201.11 ± 28.18 vs. 174 ± 23.78, < 0.01). There was a significant positive association between TyG-BMI and NSCLC ( = 1.014; 95% CI 1.007-1.021; < 0.001) after controlling for confounding factors. Moreover, the prevalence of NSCLC was significantly elevated in participants in the high TyG-BMI tertiles than those in the intermediate and low TyG-BMI tertiles (60.46% vs. 12.61% vs. 26.83%, < 0.01). Importantly, TyG-BMI achieved a significant diagnostic accuracy for NSCLC, with an AUC (area under the curve) of 0.769 and a cutoff value of 184.87.
Conclusion: The findings suggest that TyG-BMI is a useful tool for assessing NSCLC risk. Thus, it is essential to follow up on high TyG-BMI, and lifestyle modification is needed to prevent NSCLC in people with high TyG-BMI.

Objective: This retrospective study aimed to determine the need for lymph node resection during surgical treatment in patients with stage IA non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Materials And Methods: A total of 1428 patients diagnosed with cT1N0M0 1 A stage NSCLC who underwent surgery were divided into two groups: lymphadenectomy (n = 1324) and nonlymphadenectomy (n = 104). The effects of lymph node resection on overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) and on clinicopathological factors that affected the prognosis of the patients were investigated.

Background: Socioeconomic status and pollution exposure have been described as risk factors for poor survival in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the relationship between these factors is complex and inadequately studied. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between environmental and social factors and their impact on survival after NSCLC resection.

Lung cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality globally and presents significant challenges in Egypt. In 2023, the first annual meeting of the Thoracic Oncology Multidisciplinary Faculty, organized by the Egyptian Cancer Research Network and the Egyptian Society of Respiratory Neoplasms, was held in Cairo, Egypt. The meeting aimed to address gaps in lung cancer management across Egypt and the broader Middle East and North Africa region.

Background: Patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are prone to developing brain metastases (BMs), particularly those with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations. In clinical practice, treatment-naïve EGFR-mutant NSCLC patients with asymptomatic BMs tend to choose EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) as first-line therapy and defer intracranial radiotherapy (RT). However, the effectiveness of upfront intracranial RT remains unclear.

Purpose: Brentuximab vedotin (BV) is hypothesized to selectively deplete T regulatory cells (Tregs) that express CD30 and re-sensitize tumors to anti-(PD-1) therapy. This study evaluated responses to BV+pembrolizumab post PD-1 and explored corresponding biomarkers.
Methods: 55 patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and 58 with metastatic cutaneous melanoma received ≥1 dose of BV+pembrolizumab.
