Knockdown of NADK promotes LUAD ferroptosis via NADPH/FSP1 axis
CONCLUSIONS: NADK is over-expressed in LUAD patients. Knockdown of NADK inhibited the proliferation of LUAD cells both in vitro and in vivo and promotes the Erastin/RSL3-induced ferroptosis of LUAD cells by down-regulating the NADPH/FSP1 axis.PMID:38700533 | DOI:10.1007/s00432-024-05752-z (Source: Clinical Lung Cancer)

Minimal Residual Disease Status in Multiple Myeloma 1 Year After Autologous Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation and Lenalidomide Maintenance Are Associated With Long-Term Overall Survival
CONCLUSION: To our knowledge, this first, prospective US cooperative group, multicenter study demonstrates that MRDneg at Y1 after AutoHCT with lenalidomide maintenance is prognostic for improved 6-year PFS and OS. Serial MRD measurements may direct trials to test how further therapy may improve long-term PFS and OS.PMID:38701390 | DOI:10.1200/JCO.23.00934 (Source: Clinical Lung Cancer)

Clinical outcomes associated with neoadjuvant therapy for the treatment of resectable non-small cell lung cancer in real-world practice
CONCLUSIONS: Neoadjuvant treatment with a combination of immunotherapy plus chemotherapy appears to achieve higher radiological and pathological responses than monotherapy for IIA-IIIB NSCLC. Log-rank analysis showed that a better outcome could be expected in patients with the addition of immunotherapy to neoadjuvant chemotherapy if compared with patients with chemotherapy alone in terms of DFS.PMID:38693705 | DOI:10.1111/crj.13761 (Source: Clinical Lung Cancer)

A randomized phase III trial of postoperative surveillance for pathological stage II and IIIA non-small cell lung cancer (JCOG2012, PHOENIX)
Jpn J Clin Oncol. 2024 May 1:hyae056. doi: 10.1093/jjco/hyae056. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe goal of postoperative surveillance following non-small cell lung cancer surgery is to detect recurrence and second primary malignancies while curative treatment is still possible. Although several guidelines recommend that patients have computed tomography (CT) scans every 6 months for the first 2 years after resection, then once a year, there is no evidence that it is effective for survival, especially in locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer. In October 2022, we launched a multi-institutional, randomized controlled ph...

Primary lung cancer in children and adolescents

CXCR6-positive circulating mucosal-associated invariant T cells can identify patients with non-small cell lung cancer responding to anti-PD-1 immunotherapy
CONCLUSION: CD8+MAIT cells are a potential predictive biomarker for patients with NSCLC responding to anti-PD-1 therapy. The correlation between CD8+MAIT cells and immunotherapy sensitivity may be ascribed to high CXCR6 expression.PMID:38698468 | DOI:10.1186/s13046-024-03046-3 (Source: Clinical Lung Cancer)

WNT5B drives osteosarcoma stemness, chemoresistance and metastasis
CONCLUSIONS: Together, these data define WNT5B's role in driving osteosarcoma cancer stem cell expansion and methotrexate resistance and provide evidence that the WNT5B pathway is a promising candidate for treating osteosarcoma patients.KEY POINTS: WNT5B expression is high in osteosarcoma stem cells leading to increased stem cell proliferation and migration through SOX2. WNT5B expression in stem cells increases rates of osteosarcoma metastasis to the lungs and liver in vivo. The hyaluronic acid degradation enzyme HYAL1 is regulated by WNT5B in osteosarcoma contributing to metastasis. Inhibition of WNT5B with a ROR1 antibod...

Enhancing anticancer activity of macrophages through rational drug combinations
J Clin Invest. 2024 May 1;134(9):e180512. doi: 10.1172/JCI180512.ABSTRACTTargeting tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) is an emerging approach being tested in multiple clinical trials. TAMs, depending on their differentiation state, can exhibit pro- or antitumorigenic functions. For example, the M2-like phenotype represents a protumoral state that can stimulate tumor growth, angiogenesis, metastasis, therapy resistance, and immune evasion by expressing immune checkpoint proteins. In this issue of the JCI, Vaccaro and colleagues utilized an innovative drug screen approach to demonstrate that targeting driver oncogenic signa...

Smoking-Related Interstitial Lung Disease: Historical Perspective and Advances in the Twenty-first Century
Surg Pathol Clin. 2024 Jun;17(2):159-171. doi: 10.1016/j.path.2023.11.003. Epub 2023 Dec 7.ABSTRACTIn the twenty- first century, there is widespread agreement that in addition to lung cancer, emphysema, and chronic bronchitis, cigarette smoking causes accumulation of pigmented macrophages, interstitial fibrosis, and Langerhans cell proliferation in various permutations. These histologic changes remain subclinical in some patients and produce clinical manifestations and imaging abnormalities in others. Debate surrounds terminology of these lesions, which are often grouped together under the umbrella of "smoking-related inte...
