Unlabelled: Primary adenoid cystic carcinoma of the lung is an uncommon thoracic neoplasm. It is considered a slow-growing tumor with a low-grade malignancy, which can be confusing as to its underlying malignancy, and the main treatment for this tumor is surgery.
Presentation Of The Case: Here, we report a case of cystic adenoid carcinoma of the lung in a 50-year-old man presenting with an unusual radiological presentation. The tumor was classified as T4N3M1a according to the TNM classification, eighth edition, and the decision was to treat the patient with palliative chemotherapy. The pathologist and surgeons must fully understand the adenoid cystic carcinoma of the lung to prevent misdiagnosis.
Conclusion: Primary adenoid cystic carcinoma of the lung is a rare tumor with a poor prognosis. The diagnosis can be challenging both clinically and histologically. Here, we present a case with an atypical radiological presentation, making the diagnosis even more difficult.

Explainable Machine Learning to Predict Treatment Response in Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.

Purpose: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have demonstrated promise in the treatment of various cancers. Single-drug ICI therapy (immuno-oncology [IO] monotherapy) that targets PD-L1 is the standard of care in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with PD-L1 expression ≥50%. We sought to find out if a machine learning (ML) algorithm can perform better as a predictive biomarker than PD-L1 alone.

Objectives: It is significant to know how much early detection and screening could reduce the proportion of occult metastases and benefit NSCLC patients.
Methods: We used previously designed and validated mathematical models to obtain the characteristics of LC in the population including undetectable metastases at the time of diagnosis. The survival was simulated using the survival functions from Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) data stratified by stage.

Although immune checkpoint inhibitors have changed the treatment paradigm for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), not all patients benefit from them. Therefore, there is an urgent need to explore novel immune checkpoint inhibitors. Neuropilin-1 (Nrp-1) is a unique immune checkpoint capable of exerting antitumor effects through CD8 T cells.

Background: Due to its strong immunogenicity and tumor specificity, neoplastic antigen has emerged as an immunotherapy target with wide therapeutic prospect and clinical application value. Anti-programmed death-1 (PD-1) antibodies reinvigorate T cell-mediated antitumor immunity. So, we conducted single-arm trial to assess the safety and efficacy of PD-1 blockade(Camrelizumab)-activated neoantigen specific cellular therapy (aNASCT) on advanced relapsed non-small lung cancer(NSCLC)(ClinicalTrials.

Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) show optimal treatment effects on recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma(R/M NPC). Nonetheless, whether metastatic sites impact ICIs efficacy remains unclear.
Methods: We performed a secondary analysis of R/M NPC patients treated with KL-A167, a programmed cell death-ligand 1(PD-L1) inhibitor, based on a multicenter, single-arm, phase II study from China between 2019 and 2021 years, which represents the first and most comprehensive analysis of the effectiveness of a PD-L1 inhibitor in patients who have been previously treated.
