Background: Extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTCL) is almost always fatal after the failure of asparaginase. This phase II study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of tislelizumab combined with gemcitabine and oxaliplatin (Tisle-GemOx) in patients with ENKTCL failing asparaginase.

Methods: Eligible patients received Tisle-GemOx as initial induction for 6-8 cycles at 21-day intervals. Responders continued tislelizumab maintenance every two months for two years. The primary endpoint was the best complete response rate (CRR).

Results: As of September 2023, 32 patients were enrolled in our study. Among the 30 efficacy-evaluable patients, the best CRR was 60 %, meeting the primary efficacy endpoint. With a median follow-up of 22.6 months, the median progression-free survival (PFS) was 7.4 months and the 1-year PFS rate was 46.4 %. Subgroup analyses showed that shorter PFS was associated with previous lines of chemotherapy ≥ 2 (P = 0.034) and concomitant hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (P = 0.040). Pseudo-progression was observed in three patients (10 %). The most common grade ≥ 3 toxicities were lymphopenia (25 %) and anemia (15.6 %).

Conclusions: Tisle-GemOx exhibits promising anti-tumor activity and manageable toxicities as a salvage therapy for ENKTCL failing asparaginase. Further long-term follow-up is necessary to evaluate the durability of the response with tislelizumab maintenance in this patient population.

Background: FGFR2 fusions or rearrangements occur in 13%-20% of patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA). Pemigatinib, a representative FGFR inhibitor, is commonly used for targeted therapy in such patients. Additionally, brain metastasis (BM) is extremely rare in advanced iCCA, and there is currently no standard treatment strategy for advanced iCCA patients with BM.

Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, Zhongshan City People's Hospital, China.

Lymphoma originates from the lymphatic hematopoietic system and is prone to develop second tumors. We reported a case of lymphoma initially manifesting systematic lymphadenopathies and lung space-occupying lymphoma that developed to lung squamous cell carcinoma in 30 months. The diseases once responded satisfactorily to chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy but progressed after 8 months.

Objective: To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of PD-1 inhibitors in neoadjuvant therapy for locally advanced colorectal cancer (LACRC).

Method: Retrieved from PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library, all relevant studies about PD-1 inhibitors for neoadjuvant treatment of LACRC were collected from inception to 31 December 2023. The efficacy was assessed by the rate of pathological complete response (PCR), clinical complete response (CCR), and major pathological response (MPR), and the safety was evaluated by the incidence of all adverse effects (TRAEs).
