Abstract Objective Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is an extremely deadly cancer with few effective therapeutic options available. Ceramide synthases (CERS), a family of enzymes that regulate sphingolipid metabolism, have been suggested to play role in initiation and progression. Whereas the specific functions CERS HCC pathogenesis not yet fully elucidated. Methods The TCGA ICGC databases were employed analyze expression levels clinical relevance genes HCC. Functional enrichment analyses performed identify pathways associated CERS5. correlation between CERS5 tumor immune microenvironment was investigated. mutation landscape immunotherapy efficacy evaluated. experiments vitro conducted assess CERS5’s impact on cell proliferation invasion. Results Aberrant detected only but also other cancers, has linked both overall survival disease-free survival. Among members, identified as prognosis-related gene, up-regulated validated database tissue samples. Higher poorer prognosis well advanced pathologic stage grade, confirmed by databases. Besides, prognostic nomogram combining stage, status, established further validated, which favorable value for prediction. showed overexpression resulted enriched carcinogenesis, drug PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway, immune-related pathways. In addition, correlated positively immunogenic death modulators checkpoints, infiltration, response, featured immunologically “hot” environment microenvironment. Finally, functional knockdown shown inhibit growth invasion hepatocellular carcinoma, potentially through targeting pathway. Conclusions Based our findings, appears great potential precise biomarker novel target

At present, cancer is the largest culprit that endangers human health. The current treatment options for mainly include surgical resection, adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy, but their therapeutic effects long-term prognosis are unsatisfactory. Immunotherapy an emerging therapy has completely transformed landscape of advanced cancers, tried to occupy a place in neoadjuvant resectable tumors. However, not all patients respond immunotherapy due immunological molecular features Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) provides new perspective considered have potential as promising anti-tumor drugs considering its immunoregulatory properties. This review concludes commonly used TCM monomers compounds from immune regulatory pathways, aiming clearly introduce basic mechanisms boosting several common TCM. In addition, we also summarized closed ongoing trials presented prospects future development. Due significant role non-small cell lung (NSCLC), combined with should be emphasized NSCLC.

Treatment of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has entered the immunotherapy era, marked by significant survival improvements due to use immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). However, owing factors, such as disease progression, long-term use, and side effects, some patients discontinue immunotherapy, resulting in limited subsequent treatment option a negative impact on their quality life. We have collected relevant data which reveal that ICI rechallenge may be an effective clinical strategy. many factors affect efficacy rechallenge, including patient characteristics, initial drugs, duration, efficacy, toxicity, effects. Additionally, effects mechanisms reversing drug resistance play crucial roles. Identifying suitable candidates, optimizing plans enhancing minimizing toxicity adverse rechallenges are pressing needs. Addressing these issues can provide guidance for better serve patients. This review focuses considerations strategies therapy NSCLC.

Bladder cancer is currently the most common malignant tumor of urinary system. The traditional treatment methods for bladder are mainly surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and targeted therapy; however, these do not improve clinical prognosis patients with advanced or metastatic cancer. Consequently, there an urgent need to develop new survival rate quality-of-life Over recent years, rapid development immunotherapy has become a significant alternative treatment, provides hope patients. This review aims introduce neoantigens their possible role in cancer, explore current limitations

Abstract Background As a newly approved immune checkpoint inhibitor in China, serplulimab has been widely used the immunotherapy of tumors. However, immune-related adverse events inhibitors should not be ignored. Although inhibitor-induced type 1 diabetes mellitus is rare complication, it may cause diabetic ketoacidosis and endanger lives patients. Case presentation This case report describes 55-year-old male Han nationality from China diagnosed with small-cell lung cancer multiple metastases who experienced an event 68 weeks after receiving therapy. The patient presented typical symptoms ketoacidosis, including severe thirst, nausea, vomiting, deep respirations, stupor. Despite absence diabetes-related autoantibodies, had extremely low levels insulin C-peptide release. Other potential causes were ruled out, confirming condition as serplulimab-induced mellitus. After aggressive treatment to correct patient’s blood glucose stabilized improved significantly, although long-term maintenance therapy was necessary. Conclusion highlights rare, late-onset that overlooked during serplulimab. monitoring early signs cannot relaxed at late stage treatment, even if patients do have elevated before middle treatment.

We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the efficacy of EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) retreatment in advanced/metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. systematically searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane databases, ASCO, ESMO websites for studies evaluating EGFR-TKI NSCLC All analyses were using R software (v.4.2.2). included 19 (9 CTs 10 retrospective cohorts) with total 886 In pooled analysis all patients during TKI, median OS was 11.7 months (95% confidence interval [CI] 10.2–13.4 months) PFS 3.2 CI 2.5–3.9 months). ORR 15% 10–21%) DCR 61% 53–67%). The subanalysis by generation TKI rechallenge period revealed slightly better on 3rd (p = 0.05). Some limitations include high heterogeneity some inability perform certain subanalyses. Our results unequivocally support benefit EGFR-mutated progressing treatment after TKI-free interval. These findings may be especially valuable areas where access novel therapeutic drugs clinical trials is limited.

Objective: Cystic brain metastases (BMs) are rare in small cell lung cancer (SCLC), and there limited data on the treatment prognosis of cystic BMs. Whole radiotherapy has been mainstay for BMs since several years. Immune checkpoint inhibitors extensive stage (ES-SCLC) have shown to be suitable patients who experienced better overall survival progress-free approved as first-line ES-SCLC. In this report, we described two ES-SCLC developed after immunotherapy, which continued treat primary lesion with immune radiotherapy. Case Description: Two male were diagnosed at first admission subsequently treated immunotherapy plus platinum therapy, during developed. One patient received whole other Gamma knife radiosurgery (GKRS). Immunotherapy was lesions controlled. It 33 months is now stable condition. The achieved an 30 months. Conclusion: This report describes a good effect local control can significantly improve symptoms patients. At same time, treatment, then perform cross-immunotherapy disease progression, combined anti-vascular targeting drugs. did not develop severe iRAEs. Keywords: ES-SCLC, BMs, cross-line
