Hsa_circ_0006571 interacted with miR-138 to promote expression of Sirt1, leading to activation of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Xenograft experiments showed that downregulation of hsa_circ_0006571 delayed the SM of lung adenocarcinoma cells via the miR-138-Sirt1 axis.

Hsa_circ_0006571 promoted tumor cell migration and invasion via the miR-138/Sirt1 pathway. Our observations indicate that circRNAs are possible novel therapeutic targets for SM of lung adenocarcinoma.

Adjuvant
(
) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are increasing considered for the tailored management of resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study aimed to analyze the survival and toxicity profile of patients with
mutation-positive NSCLC treated with adjuvant icotinib.

This was a single-center retrospective study of patients with
mutation-positive NSCLC who underwent R0 (microscopically margin-negative) resection and received adjuvant icotinib between November 2011 and December 2017. The outcomes included 2-year disease-free survival (DFS) rate, 3-year overall survival (OS) rates, DFS, OS, and adverse events (AEs).

A total of 86 patients receiving adjuvant icotinib were included. Their mean age was 59.7±10.0 years, and 26 (30.2%) patients were male. The 2-year DFS rate was 86.7%, and the 3-year OS rate was 95.3% with adjuvant icotinib. DFS (P=0.044) and OS (P=0.003) are better in stage I/II disease than in stage III disease. There seems no differences in DFS and OS between patients with low or high preoperative CEA levels (cutoff of 5 ng/mL), patients with exon 19 or 21
mutation or patients with or without smoking history. The most common AEs with adjuvant icotinib were rash (83.7%) and diarrhea (19.8%). One (1.2%) patient-reported grade ≥3 AEs. No treatment-related death occurred.

For patients with
mutation-positive NSCLC, adjuvant icotinib might be associated with a promising survival benefit, with an acceptable toxicity profile.
For patients with EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC, adjuvant icotinib might be associated with a promising survival benefit, with an acceptable toxicity profile.
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) represent a great breakthrough in the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (aNSCLC). However, whether immunotherapy beyond progression (IBP) is effective for aNSCLC has yet to be established. IWP-2 supplier Therefore, a retrospective clinical study was conducted to investigate the efficacy of IBP in patients with aNSCLC under real-world conditions.

A total of 125 Chinese patients with aNSCLC who experienced progressive disease (PD) after receiving monotherapy or combination therapy (combined with chemotherapy or/and antiangiogenic therapy) with programmed cell death-1 (PD-1)/programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) inhibitors between January 2015 and March 2019 were enrolled. Patients who were treated with ICIs for more than 6 weeks after PD were defined as IBP (n=39), while those who received ICI treatment for less than 6 weeks or discontinued it due to PD were defined as non-IBP (n=86). Patient clinical characteristics were evaluated. An optimization-based method was applitients with aNSCLC who experienced disease progression after initial immunotherapy.
IBP is associated with longer OS and PFS in patients with aNSCLC. Our findings may suggest new therapeutic options for patients with aNSCLC who experienced disease progression after initial immunotherapy.
Accurate preoperative localization of small pulmonary nodules facilitates the rapid and precise video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). This study aims to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of navigation bronchoscopy-guided pulmonary microcoil placement for preoperative pulmonary nodule localization.

Twelve lung lesions were simulated by mixing lipiodol in three porcine models. After 1 week, two microcoils per lesion were deployed under bronchoscopic guidance. Computed tomography scans were then performed 1 day, 1 week, 2 weeks, and 4 weeks after the deployment to assess the position of the microcoils relative to the lesions. Surgical resection of the simulated lesions was performed under fluoroscopy 5 weeks after the deployment and the accuracy, stability, and associated complications of the microcoil localization were evaluated. Following this, an exploratory clinical study was conducted on three patients with pure ground-glass pulmonary nodules.

The mean diameter of the twelve simulative technique with minimal complication risk. This procedure can assist subsequent thoracoscopic resection.
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) prolong overall survival (OS) in patients with advanced lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC). However, predictive and prognostic factors related to ICIs in LUSC remain elusive. This study aimed to identify predictors that are related to better clinical benefit and outcomes in LUSC patients treated with immunotherapy.

Capture-based targeted sequencing was performed in 64 patients with advanced LUSC who underwent immunotherapy. Tumor mutational burden (TMB) was defined as the sum of nonsynonymous single nucleotide and indel variants. Programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) expression was evaluated by immunohistochemical analysis. Clinicopathological characteristics including age, sex, performance status, smoking history, body mass index (BMI), blood fat, brain metastases, liver metastases, previous thoracic radiotherapy, and treatment lines were analyzed.

The melogy Group performance status (ECOG-PS), smoking status, TMB, PD-L1, and genomic variation might be helpful for personalized immunotherapy decisions in clinical practice for advanced LUSC.
The predictive value of TMB is more significant in LUSC patients receiving ICI as a single agent than as a combination therapy. The combination of Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG-PS), smoking status, TMB, PD-L1, and genomic variation might be helpful for personalized immunotherapy decisions in clinical practice for advanced LUSC.
