Aim: Immune checkpoint inhibitors improved the survival of advanced non-small cell lung cancer. However, only 20% of patients respond to these treatments and the search for predictive biomarkers of response is still topical. The objective of this work is to analyze the anti-PD-1 monotherapy benefit based on genetic alterations diagnosed by next generation sequencing (NGS), in advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

Aim: This study aims to compare the efficiencies and toxicities of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) based and epirubicin based chemotherapeutic regimens as neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) for early breast cancer.
Patients And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 391 patients with stage II-III breast cancer who received NAC in multiple centers. The efficiencies and toxicities of PLD and epirubicin based NAC regimens were compared by using both propensity-score matched (PSM) and unmatched data.

Neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), Huntington's disease (HD), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are characterized by the progressive degeneration of neuronal structure and function, leading to severe cognitive and motor impairments. These conditions present significant challenges to healthcare systems, and traditional treatments often fail to account for genetic variability among patients, resulting in inconsistent therapeutic outcomes. Pharmacogenomics aims to tailor medical treatments based on an individual's genetic profile, thereby improving therapeutic efficacy and reducing adverse effects.

Objective: This study assessed the impact of intrathecal pemetrexed (IP) in managing leptomeningeal metastases (LM) in previously treated patients with -mutant advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Methods: We analyzed the clinical and survival outcomes of 50 patients with LM who received 50 mg IP after disease progression with epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) treatment between September 2021 and September 2023 at the Hunan Cancer Hospital. Treatment response was evaluated based on improvement in neurological symptoms/signs and Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) scores.

Carcinoma of unknown primary (CUP) comprises 2-5% of cancer diagnoses worldwide, with a prevalence that has modestly declined with increased availability of advanced diagnostic tools such as next-generation sequencing (NGS). This case presentation illustrates the possibilities and gaps that remain with improving diagnostic capabilities in identifying and effectively treating CUP. This is the case of a rapidly enlarging right axillary mass without a primary tumour site and histological evaluation demonstrating a poorly differentiated neoplasm.
