Summary: Technological advances are transforming evidence generation in medicine, but the clinical trial landscape must adapt to keep pace. Wearable technologies, data science, and machine learning offer a glimpse into the future of evidence-based medicine. Despite advances, clinical translations in major areas of medicine are lagging. The COVID-19 pandemic exposed limitations but also spurred positive changes like new trial designs and a shift towards a patient-centric evidence-generation system.

Summary: Although new targeted therapies have improved the treatment and prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer, they often fail due to primary or acquired resistances. Chemoresistance is a complex process involving various factors. Two approaches that could improve treatment response are developing predictive tools and understanding the influence of the tumor microenvironment. Personalized medicine requires identifying relevant experimental models and biomarkers to combat chemoresistance.

Summary: The aim of this study is to develop a simplified pathological workflow to exclude CUPs in patients with MUOs. A total of 64 MUOs were classified using standard histopathology, and clinical data, immunocytochemical markers, and molecular analysis results were recorded. The majority of MUOs were confirmed as CUP, while a small portion displayed clear carcinoma features. The findings support the use of a simplified histological approach to exclude CUP and early metastatic cancers.

However, the target population for immunotherapy and the predictive biomarkers for neoadjuvant immunotherapy selection are still under discussion. Potential biomarkers being explored include PD-L1 expression, tumor mutation burden, circulating tumor DNA, tumor microenvironment components, and clinical factors.

Pathologists have been at the forefront of lung cancer management due to this unstoppable knowledge. In the field of cytopathology, where maximizing output with minimal input is a daily challenge, there has been a paradigm shift in the care and handling of diagnostic samples. This shift emphasizes the utilization of cytologic samples and small biopsies for both diagnostic and ancillary testing purposes.

Summary: Immunotherapy with immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has revolutionised the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It has shown promising results in early NSCLC, especially with neoadjuvant multimodality approaches. However, biomarkers for predicting response to ICIs in early-stage NSCLC are lacking. PD-L1 expression and tumor mutational burden seem to correlate with better response rates and survival. Other promising approaches include blood-based ratios, microbiota, and baseline intratumoral TCR clonality. Circulating tumor DNA could help in selecting best candidates for adjuvant ICIs and monitoring tumor response.

The recent deferral of implementation deadlines has exposed ongoing challenges in terms of awareness and implementation of the regulation across Europe. There is limited awareness of the In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR) and the different national systems involved, which poses risks for patient and consumer access to in vitro diagnostics (IVDs).

However, not all patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (aNSCLC) benefit equally from immunotherapy, and there is a need for additional predictive markers for ICIs efficacy. Multiplex immunostaining, which evaluates multiple molecules in the tumor at the same time, shows promise in optimizing patient selection for ICIs. This review aims to explore the role of multiplex immunostaining in immuno-thoracic oncology and its current advantages and limitations in clinical practice.
