Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized the treatment landscape for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The variability in patient responses necessitates a blood-based, multi-cohort gene signature to predict ICI response in NSCLC.

Methods: We performed transcriptomic profiling of peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) and buffy coat (BC) samples from three independent cohorts of NSCLC patients treated with ICIs: a retrospective cohort (PMBCR, n = 59), a retrospective validation cohort (BC, n = 44), and a prospective validation cohort (PBMCP, n = 42).

Article Synopsis
  • A study in the UK showed that using CA125 blood tests and ultrasound for ovarian cancer didn't really lower deaths but helped find earlier cases.
  • Researchers tested blood samples from women with ovarian cancer and controls to create a new test using 7 specific chemicals plus CA125.
  • This new test was better at finding early-stage ovarian cancer, catching a good number of cases even when CA125 levels were low.

Liquid biopsy, an advanced technology for analyzing body fluid samples, is gaining traction in cancer diagnostics and monitoring. Blood-based liquid biopsy, particularly focusing on cell-free DNAs (cf-DNAs), circulating tumor cells (CTCs), and extracellular vesicles (EVs), has garnered significant attention. EVs stand out for their potential in tumor diagnosis, prognosis prediction, and treatment response assessment, owing to their stable molecular cargo and clear extraction process.
