Monoclonal antibody SM1 has been shown to be preferentially reactive with small cell carcinoma of the lung (SCCL) cell lines by fluorescent and radioimmunoassay membrane staining (1). Using solid phase indirect radioimmunoassay, the antigen is not detected in non-SCCL lung carcinomas histologically classified as squamous carcinoma, adenocarcinoma or large cell carcinoma, and other tumors, viz; pheochromocytoma, a mesoderm derived lymphoblastic leukemia cell line or in normal human brain, heart, liver, colon, endothelial tissues of the aorta and blood vessels, skin, omentum, muscle, lung parenchyma and is weakly reactive with bronchial mucosa, pancreas, and kidney. The membrane antigens detected by SM1 were isolated from small cell carcinoma of the lung (SCCL) cell line, SW2, using anion exchange chromatography and thin layer chromatography, and were further analysed by exoglycosidase and endoglycosidase treatments followed by chemical staining and immunostaining with SM1 and other antibodies. We show here that SM1 antibody reacts with a group of fucose-containing neutral glycolipids and gangliosides many of which are cross-reactive with antibodies to H antigens.

Purpose: To investigate the prognostic value of inflammatory indexes based on peripheral blood cells in unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients treated with Lenvatinib combined with PD-1 inhibitors.

Methods: This study retrospectively collected baseline inflammatory indexes from HCC patients received Lenvatinib and PD-1 inhibitor-based combination therapy at the Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences between October 2018 and October 2021. The optimal threshold values for inflammatory indexes determined using X-tile.

Mucinous carcinoma of the breast, also known as colloid carcinoma, is an uncommon type of differentiated adenocarcinoma, representing only 2% of all invasive breast carcinomas. It usually occurs in women ≥ 60 years of age. Mucinous carcinoma is characterized by clusters of epithelial tumour cells suspended in pools of extracellular mucin and is further divided in 2 subgroups, pure and mixed.

Liver cancer remains a significant global health challenge, characterized by high incidence and mortality rates. Despite advancements in medical treatments, the prognosis for liver cancer patients remains poor, highlighting the urgent need for novel therapeutic approaches. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), particularly (CB), has shown promise in addressing this need due to its multi-target therapeutic mechanisms.

Background: The relationship between patient nutritional, immune, and inflammatory status is linked to tumor progression and prognosis. However, there are limited studies on the prognosis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) after surgery based on the comprehensive indicators of these factors.

Aim: To develop and validate a novel nomogram based on a nutritional immune-inflammatory status (NIIS) score for predicting postoperative outcomes in ESCC.
