Paclitaxel liposome for injection (Lipusu) plus cisplatin versus gemcitabine plus cisplatin in the first-line treatment of locally advanced or metastatic lung squamous cell carcinoma: A multicenter, randomized, open-label, parallel controlled clinical study
- First Published: 26 October 2021
Cisplatin plus Lipusu (LP) regimen has comparable efficacy and more favorable toxicity profiles compared with cisplatin plus gemcitabine (GP) regimen for patients with advanced LSCC. The study also demonstrated that LP had a significant impact on the levels of plasma cytokines and a spectrum of cytokines were associated with clinical benefit in patients who received LP. Thus, our results provided a new option for patients with advanced LSCC.

Combined treatment of non-small cell lung cancer using radiotherapy and immunotherapy: challenges and updates
- First Published: 17 October 2021

In recent years, immunotherapy has been considered the most promising method to overcome cancer and extend survival. It has been widely reported in preclinical and clinical studies that radiotherapy induces immunomodulatory effects by releasing TAAs and activating immunoregulation-related signaling pathways, initiating tumor-specific cytotoxic T cells, and promoting T cells to enter into tumor tissues. In this manuscript, we summarize the current status of immunotherapy and iRT and the development and additional combination strategies to enhance the efficacy of iRT.

Nuclear Aurora kinase A triggers programmed death-ligand 1-mediated immune suppression by activating MYC transcription in triple-negative breast cancer
- First Published: 12 July 2021

The present study showed that nuclear AURKA rather than its kinase activity induced PD-L1 expression via a MYC-dependent pathway. In addition, downregulation of AURKA led to increased CD8+ T cell infiltration and activation in vivo. Thus, our data provided evidences for the involvement of AURKA in immune evasion of triple-negative breast cancer.

Improved esophageal squamous cell carcinoma screening effectiveness by risk-stratified endoscopic screening: evidence from high-risk areas in China
- First Published: 19 June 2021

Universal endoscopy screening is recommended for all aged 40-69 years in high-risk areas of China to control esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). This study estimated risk-stratified endoscopic (RSES) strategies based on a previously developed ESCC prediction model in a representative Chinese population from high-risk areas. RSES would be a feasible strategy to optimize the current universal endoscopic screening strategy in high-risk areas by increasing efficiency and decreasing screening costs.
