Prolgolimab with chemotherapy as first-line treatment for advanced non-squamous non-small-cell lung cancer.
Eur J Cancer
January 2025
JSC Biocad, St. Petersburg, Russia.
Background: Prolgolimab is an IgG1 anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody with the Fc-silencing 'LALA' mutation. The phase III DOMAJOR study assessed efficacy and safety of prolgolimab in combination with pemetrexed and platinum-based chemotherapy vs placebo in combination with pemetrexed and platinum-based chemotherapy as first-line treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Methods: 292 patients with advanced non-squamous NSCLC were randomized 1:1 to receive 4 cycles of pemetrexed, platinum-based drug and either prolgolimab (3 mg/kg Q3W) or placebo followed by prolgolimab/placebo with pemetrexed until disease progression or toxicity (≤36 months).

Department of Chronic Disease Epidemiology, Yale School of Public Health, New Haven, Connecticut, USA.
Background: Several studies have investigated the association between Helicobacter pylori colonization and gastrointestinal malignancies. However, inconsistent results have been found, leaving no clear consensus.
Materials And Methods: Umbrella review of meta-analyses of observational studies aiming to understand the association between Helicobacter pylori colonization and gastrointestinal cancers in humans.
Disparities in stage at diagnosis of head and neck tumours in Brazil: a comprehensive analysis of hospital-based cancer registries.
Lancet Reg Health Am
February 2025
Molecular Carcinogenesis Program, Coordination of Research and Innovation, Brazilian Nacional Cancer Institute (INCA), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Background: The advanced stage of cancer is a determining factor in poor prognosis. Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) are highly incident in Brazil, but similarly to many Low and Middle-Income Countries, data is limited regarding the proportion of tumours diagnosed at advanced clinical stages and the main factors associated with it. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the factors associated with advanced stage of HNSCC in Brazil.

Department of Biophysics, Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, WI, United States.
Background And Purpose: Quantitative MRI (qMRI) has been explored for detecting tumor changes during radiation therapy (RT) in head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC). Clinical trials show prolonged survival with PD-1 targeted immune checkpoint inhibition. Hypofractionated radiation regimens are being studied to counteract radioresistant clonogen formation.

January 2025
Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Miyazaki Prefectural Miyazaki Hospital, Miyazaki, JPN.
Background: In surgically treated cases of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), even pathological N0 (pN0) cases according to the Tumor, Node, and Metastasis (TNM) Classification, distant metastases can occur relatively early postoperatively. Therefore, we hypothesized that hematogenous distant metastasis may be related to the degree of venous invasion. Lymphatic invasion is considered to be a poor prognostic factor in HNSCC, but knowledge about venous invasion is scarce.
