Introduction: Lung cancer is a major cause of cancer-related deaths, with 2 million new cases annually. Bronchopulmonary neuroendocrine tumors (BP-NETs) comprise about 20 % of lung cancers, including typical carcinoid tumors (TC). While tobacco is a primary risk factor, non-tobacco factors also play a role.

Background: Thymic epithelial tumors (TETs), including thymoma and thymic carcinoma, are rare thoracic tumors of the anterior mediastinum. For those with advanced disease, platinum-based chemotherapy is used as first-line treatment. However, there is no standard regimen established for TET at progression after initial therapy, and treatment options for advanced/recurrent TETs are limited.

Department of Oncology, Lianyungang Clinical College of Nanjing Medical University/The First People's Hospital of Lianyungang, The Affiliated Lianyungang Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University, Lianyungang, 222002, China.

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.

Article Synopsis
  • The family of PEComa consists of various mesenchymal tumors with myomelanocytic characteristics, including a unique type linked to TFE3 gene rearrangement.
  • Recent findings show that the YAP1::TFE3 fusion is present in clear cell stromal tumors of the lung and certain inflammatory spindle cell PEComas, though the connection between these two remains uncertain.
  • This report details a case of pulmonary malignant PEComa with TFE3 rearrangement that also has the YAP1::TFE3 fusion, contributing to the understanding of the characteristics and genetic factors of lung neoplasms related to PEComa.
