Immune checkpoint inhibitors combined with angiogenic inhibitors in the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic lung adenocarcinoma patients

Yu Feng et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that the combination therapy of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) and antiangiogenic agents could be a promising alternative treatment regimen for lung adenocarcinoma, with manageable toxic effects. Low tumor burden during treatment and the use of small molecule angiogenic inhibitors plus ICI may be favorable prognostic factors.

A cohort study of the efficacy and safety of immune checkpoint inhibitors plus anlotinib versus immune checkpoint inhibitors alone as the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer in the real world

Yue Shi et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that, in the multiline treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients, the combination of anlotinib and immune checkpoint inhibitors can significantly prolong progression-free survival and potentially improve disease control rate and objective response rate. However, the treatment may increase the probability of adverse events.

Durvalumab, with or without tremelimumab, plus platinum-etoposide versus platinum-etoposide alone in first-line treatment of extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (CASPIAN): updated results from a randomised, controlled, open-label, phase 3 trial

Jonathan W. Goldman et al.

Summary: The study showed that first-line treatment with durvalumab plus platinum-etoposide resulted in sustained improvement in overall survival, while the addition of tremelimumab to this combination did not significantly enhance efficacy. These findings support the use of durvalumab plus platinum-etoposide as a new standard of care for extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer.

Small-cell lung cancer

Charles M. Rudin et al.

Summary: Small-cell lung cancer is a type of lung cancer characterized by high proliferative rate, early metastasis, and poor prognosis, strongly associated with tobacco carcinogens. Most patients are diagnosed with metastatic disease, with only a small fraction having potentially curative earlier-stage disease. Genomic profiling reveals extensive chromosomal rearrangements and high mutation burden in SCLC, often involving inactivation of TP53 and RB1 tumor suppressor genes.

Anti-PD-(L)1 immunotherapy for brain metastases in non-small cell lung cancer: Mechanisms, advances, and challenges

Shujie Zhou et al.

Summary: The brain is a common metastatic site in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and anti-PD-(L)1 immunotherapy shows potential efficacy against brain metastases in NSCLC patients. However, due to issues with the blood-brain barrier, the mechanisms of action and efficacy of these treatments remain unclear.
