Introduction: The addition of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) to conventional chemotherapy (CT) as first-line treatment improves survival in extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). The aim of this meta-analysis ...

Introduction: The ROS1 gene rearrangement has become an important biomarker in NSCLC. The College of American Pathologists/International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer/Association for Molecular Pathology testing ...

We report a rapidly progressive and fatal CD8 T-cell-mediated cerebellitis after ipilimumab (cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 inhibitor) for small cell lung cancer. Clinical features and histopathology were ...

Introduction: Hyperprogressive disease (HPD) as a consequence of immune checkpoint inhibitors in NSCLC has been reported in multiple studies. However, inconsistent results in incidence and survival outcomes within studies, ...

INTRODUCTION: To offer patients with EGFR mutation-positive advanced NSCLC appropriate EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor treatment, mutation testing of tumor samples is required. However, tissue/cytologic samples are not ...

Tumor recurrence is frequent and survival rates remain extremely low in lung adenocarcinoma (ADC). We hypothesize that carcinogenic factors will promote loco-regional modifications not only in the future tumor, but throughout ...

We have previously shown that Met activation through the hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) increases tumorogenesis, induces epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and chemoresistance in SCLC. We sought to evaluate circulating ...

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer with a world-wide annual incidence of around 1.3 million. The majority of patients are diagnosed with advanced disease and survival remains poor. ...

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to assess MET intratumoral heterogeneity and its potential impact on biomarker-based patient selection as well as potential surrogate biomarkers of MET activation. METHODS: Our study included 120 patients ...

This network meta-analysis (NMA) evaluates the safety of first-line programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitor monotherapy in advanced NSCLC patients compared to platinum-based chemotherapy. We also compared the risk of ...
