Purpose Of Review: Recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (R/M HNSCC) remains a significant therapeutic challenge due to its biological complexity and clinical heterogeneity. This review addresses the relevance of exploring novel therapeutic approaches, particularly in light of recent advances and the persistent unmet needs in patient outcomes.
Recent Findings: Recent phase II and III clinical trials have highlighted promising strategies, including combinations of immunotherapy with targeted therapies, antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), HPV vaccines, dual immunotherapy approaches, and therapies targeting the tumor microenvironment. These innovations represent emerging directions to overcome resistance mechanisms and improve treatment efficacy.
Summary: The findings suggest that integrating innovative strategies such as ADCs, immunotherapy combinations, and tumor microenvironment-targeting therapies may significantly enhance clinical outcomes for patients with R/M HNSCC. Further research is essential to refine these approaches and optimize their application in clinical practice.

Raman-based theranostics has demonstrated great potential for sensitive real-time imaging and treatment. However, these advanced materials, primarily depending on the SERS technique, encounter clinical concerns regarding substrate biosafety. Herein, we molecularly engineered a substrate-free SICTERS small molecule, namely BTT-TPA (bis-thienyl-substituted benzotriazole selenadiazole derivative structures), possessing both ultrasensitive Raman signals and excellent photothermal effects based on self-stacking.

Objectives: To assess the prognostic impact of adequate lymphadenectomy and determine the optimal nodal assessment for different clinical stages of lung cancer.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 1214 patients with clinical stage I-III non-small cell lung cancer who had preoperative PET/CT and curative surgery (2006-2017). Patients were categorized based on whether they had adequate [R0] or inadequate lymphadenectomy [R(un)].

Objectives: Compare oncologic outcomes between single-segment and multi-segment resections in patients with clinical stage IA1 and IA2 non-small cell lung cancer.
Methods: A retrospective review (2011-2022) was conducted using a prospectively maintained database. Patients undergoing anatomical segmentectomy for clinical stage IA ≤ 2 cm non-small cell lung cancers were included.

Objective: To compare early recurrence patterns, safety, survival and investigate the clinical risk factors of early recurrence (ER) after liver resection or thermal ablation (TA) for patients with colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) with number ≤ 5 and largest diameter ≤ 3 cm.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included patients with CRLM who underwent liver resection or TA between January 2016 and December 2021 at two hospitals in China. The Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test were used to assess recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS).
