Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally. In China, nearly half of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients carry epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations. EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) have significantly improved the prognosis for patients with EGFR mutations and are considered the preferred treatment for these individuals. Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression levels are now widely used as a biomarker to predict the effectiveness of PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy in NSCLC. Additionally, the impact of PD-L1 expression on the efficacy of EGFR-TKIs has garnered considerable attention from researchers. This review explores recent studies on the epidemiology and clinical outcomes associated with PD-L1 in NSCLC patients harboring driver gene mutations.

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.

Lung cancer stands as the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, impacting both men and women in the United States and beyond. Radiation therapy (RT) serves as a key treatment modality for various lung malignancies. Our study aims to systematically assess the prognosis and influence of RT on metabolic reprogramming in patients diagnosed with nonsmall-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) through longitudinal metabolic profiling.

Lung cancer exhibits altered metabolism, influencing its response to radiation. To investigate the metabolic regulation of radiation response, we conducted a comprehensive, metabolic-wide CRISPR-Cas9 loss-of-function screen using radiation as selection pressure in human non-small cell lung cancer. Lipoylation emerged as a key metabolic target for radiosensitization, with lipoyltransferase 1 (LIPT1) identified as a top hit.

Intrabronchial delivery of therapeutic agents is critical to the treatment of respiratory diseases. Targeted delivery is demanded because of the off-target accumulation of drugs in normal lung tissues caused by inhalation and the limited motion dexterity of clinical bronchoscopes in tortuous bronchial trees. Herein, we developed microrobotic swarms consisting of magnetic hydrogel microparticles to achieve intrabronchial targeted delivery.
