Objective: This study aimed to investigate the reasons behind the lower survival rates in male lung cancer patients than in female lung cancer patients.
Methods: Through various techniques, such as Argonaute immunoprecipitation, luciferase assays, and ChIP, this study confirmed the positive effects of androgen receptor (AR) on lung cancer cell invasion across different in vitro cell lines and in vivo mouse models.
Results: The findings suggest that AR enhanced the invasion of lung cancer cells by modifying EPHB2 signals at the protein expression level, which in turn required changes in miRNA-23a-3p. Restoring miRNA-23a-3p could counteract the intensified invasion of lung cancer cells mediated by AR.
Conclusion: This study revealed that AR may facilitate the lung cancer matastasis by modulating miRNA-23a-3p/EPHB2 signaling and that targeting this signaling pathway could provide new approaches to inhibit lung cancer metastasis.

Histologic transformation from non-small cell to small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a resistance mechanism to immune checkpoint inhibitors. We report herein a case of lung adenocarcinoma who developed liver and brain metastases during adjuvant atezolizumab therapy. The patient underwent a craniotomy to resect a brain metastasis, which was pathologically diagnosed as SCLC.

Background: Lung cancer surgery is associated with a high incidence of chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP), which necessitates long-term analgesic prescriptions. However, while essential for managing pain, these have shown various adverse effects. Current guidelines recommend using peripheral nerve blocks over epidural anaesthesia for perioperative analgesia in minimally invasive thoracic surgery (MITS).

Background: Lung transplantation is a viable lifesaving option for patients with diffuse pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). We present a case of diffuse pulmonary AVMs associated with juvenile polyposis and hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (JP-HHT) that was successfully managed by lung transplantation.
Case Presentation: A 19-year-old woman developed severe hypoxemia due to pulmonary AVMs diagnosed at 4 years of age.

The chemokine CCL20, a small cytokine that belongs to the C-C chemokine family, interacts with its homologous receptor CCR6, which is expressed on wide range of cell types. According to current research, the CCL20-CCR6 has been established as acritical player in a diverse range of inflammatory, oncogenic, and autoimmune diseases. Within the respiratory system, CCL20-CCR6 demonstrates heightened expression in conditions such as allergic asthma, chronic airway inflammation, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other respiratory diseases, which is conducive to the inflammatory mediators recruitment and tumor microenvironment remodeling.
