Aim: The immune system plays an important role in tumor development and treatment. In this study, we aimed to determine the relationships among the expressions of PD-L1, CD3, CD8, MMR proteins, clinicopathological features, and prognosis of CRC.
Methods: Immunohistochemistry was used to determine the expression of PD-L1, CD3, and CD8 in 771 patients with CRC.
Results: The expression of PD-L1 in TC was related to the right colon, adenocarcinoma, and dMMR, and in IC, it was related to younger CRC patients and the TNM stage. The expression of CD3 and CD8 in tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes was related to lymph node metastasis and the TNM stage. The expression of PD-L1 in TC and IC was correlated with the infiltration of CD3+ and CD8+ lymphocytes. Univariate survival analysis showed that the expression of PD-L1 in TC, IC, and dMMR was related to a better prognosis. Multivariate survival analysis showed that age, TNM stage, and dMMR were independent prognostic factors for CRC. The OS of the chemotherapy was significantly higher than that of the non-chemotherapy in III-IV TNM stage patients; CRC patients with positive PD-L1 expression in TC or IC and dMMR did not benefit from chemotherapy.
Conclusions: PD-L1 expression in TC and IC was closely related to the density of CD3 and CD8 infiltration in tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes. The expression of CD3 and CD8 in tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and the expression of PD-L1 in IC were linked to the TNM stage of CRC patients. PD-L1 expression in TC and IC and MMR status may act as an important biomarker for guiding the postoperative treatment of III-IV TNM stage CRC patients.

Introduction: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is associated with poor prognosis. The roles of the transcription factor special AT-rich binding protein-2 (SATB2) and β-catenin in PDAC have been a subject of controversy. We aimed to assess the diagnostic and prognostic impact of SATB2 and β-catenin in PDAC.

Aim: To construct a predictive model based on the LODDS stage established for patients with late-onset colon adenocarcinoma to enhance survival stratification.
Methods: Late-onset colon adenocarcinoma data were obtained from the public database. After determining the optimal LODDS truncation value for the training set via X-tile software, we created a new staging system by integrating the T stage and M stage.

Background: The relationship between patient nutritional, immune, and inflammatory status is linked to tumor progression and prognosis. However, there are limited studies on the prognosis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) after surgery based on the comprehensive indicators of these factors.
Aim: To develop and validate a novel nomogram based on a nutritional immune-inflammatory status (NIIS) score for predicting postoperative outcomes in ESCC.
The Association Between Venous Invasion and Distant Metastasis in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

Background: In surgically treated cases of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), even pathological N0 (pN0) cases according to the Tumor, Node, and Metastasis (TNM) Classification, distant metastases can occur relatively early postoperatively. Therefore, we hypothesized that hematogenous distant metastasis may be related to the degree of venous invasion. Lymphatic invasion is considered to be a poor prognostic factor in HNSCC, but knowledge about venous invasion is scarce.

Introduction: Limited information exists on next-generation sequencing (NGS) success for lung tumors of 30 mm or less. We aimed to compare NGS success rates across biopsy techniques for these tumors, assess DNA sequencing quality, and verify reliability against surgical resection results.
Methods: We used data from the Initiative for Early Lung Cancer Research on Treatment study, including patients with lung tumors measuring 30 mm or less who had surgery and NGS on biopsies since 2016.
