Objectives: To identify biomarkers that can discriminated small cell lung cancer (SCLC) from non-SCLC (NSCLC), and explore their association with the prognosis of SCLC under chemoradiotherapy.

Methods: The GSE40275 dataset was used to identify potential targets in SCLC. There were 196 patients of lung cancer (LC) in cohort 1 of this study. levels in tissues were determined by immunohistochemistry assay in cohort 1. Lung cancer patients who were all underwent local chemoradiotherapy (CRT) were included in cohort 2, and the association of levels with CRT treatment outcome were determined in cohort 2. Cell experiments were used to determine the function of on the radio-sensitivity of SCLC and NSCLC cells.

Results: The levels in LC tissues were increased, and could discriminate SCLC from both lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) and lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Small cell lung cancer patients with high phenotype had a poorer prognosis after CRT treatment, whereas no significant correlation was found between levels and prognosis in LUSC and LUAD group. Cell experiments demonstrated that overexpression of increases radio-resistance in both SCLC and NSCLC in vitro.

Conclusion: expressions might be a novel specifically prognostic biomarker for SCLC and the CRT treatment outcome.

Pulmonary embolism (PE), a form of venous thromboembolism, is a frequently observed complication in malignancies, with a notably high incidence in individuals with lung cancer. The presence of PE markedly reduces the quality of life and has a significant impact on the prognosis of those diagnosed with both lung cancer and PE. As a result, timely diagnosis and intervention are of paramount importance.

Evaluation of an enhanced ResNet-18 classification model for rapid On-site diagnosis in respiratory cytology.

BMC Cancer

January 2025

Department of Pathology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University, Wenzhou, 325000, Zhejiang, China.

Objective: Rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) of respiratory cytology specimens is a critical technique for accurate and timely diagnosis of lung cancer. However, in China, limited familiarity with the Diff-Quik staining method and a shortage of trained cytopathologists hamper utilization of ROSE. Therefore, developing an improved deep learning model to assist clinicians in promptly and accurately evaluating Diff-Quik stained cytology samples during ROSE has important clinical value.

Background: With extended gefitinib treatment, the therapeutic effect in some non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients declined with the development of drug resistance. Aidi injection (ADI) is utilized in various cancers as a traditional Chinese medicine prescription. This study explores the molecular mechanism by which ADI, when combined with gefitinib, attenuates gefitinib resistance in PC9GR NSCLC cells.

Background: To date, there remains a paucity of comparative investigations pertaining to preoperative immunochemotherapy and conventional chemotherapy in the context of limited-stage small-cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC) patients. This study conducted a comprehensive comparative assessment concerning the safety and efficacy profiles of preoperative immunochemotherapy and chemotherapy in individuals diagnosed with stage I-IIIB SCLC.

Methods: This investigation collected 53 consecutive patients diagnosed with LS-SCLC spanning stage I to IIIB who underwent preoperative immunochemotherapy or conventional chemotherapy at our hospital from January 2019 to July 2021.

Discovery of novel dual-target inhibitors of LSD1/EGFR for non-small cell lung cancer therapy.

Acta Pharmacol Sin

Histone lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) is overexpressed in various solid and hematological tumors, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic target, but there are currently no LSD1 inhibitors available on the market. In this study we employed a computer-guided approach to identify novel LSD1/EGFR dual inhibitors as a potential therapeutic agent for non-small cell lung cancer. Through a multi-stage virtual screening approach, we found L-1 and L-6, two compounds with unique scaffolds that effectively inhibit LSD1 with IC values of 6.
