PD-L1 mutation

Improvements in ORR and PFS for L+P versus sunitinib in aRCC were observed consistently across a range of biomarker subgroups defined using RCC driver mutations, PD-L1, gene expression signatures, and molecular subtypes.

The introduction of antibody-drug conjugates, in specific trastuzumab deruxtecan, has resulted in the best progression-free survival among patients with this subtype of breast cancer...Tucatinib, capecitabine, and trastuzumab combination represent one such promising strategy. With the increasing longevity of these patients, important clinical questions include optimal treatment sequencing, the role of de-escalation of treatment in excellent responders, and the associated financial toxicity. Despite the aggressive nature of this subtype of breast cancer, the outcomes continue to improve for these patients with the evolving treatments.

The characterization of metastatic tumour samples can improve response prediction to immunotherapy, the anti-NECTIN4 antibody-drug conjugate enfortumab vedotin and the FGFR inhibitor erdafitinib. Routine metastatic biopsy can thus improve the precision of identifying driver druggable alterations, thus improving treatment selection for patients with mUC.

Here we summarize the current understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of ATLL, focusing on recent progress made by genetic, epigenetic, and single-cell analyses. These findings not only provide a deeper understanding of the molecular pathobiology of ATLL, but also have significant implications for diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

Our results show guttiferone E to be a promising, novel and potent antitumor drug candidate for osimertinib-resistant lung cancer with EGFR L858R/T790M mutations.

This review highlights the need for further research to elucidate the exact mechanisms of ICI-associated pancreatic injury, develop predictive biomarkers, and refine treatment protocols. As ICI use continues to expand, a thorough understanding of this adverse event is essential for optimizing patient care and outcomes in cancer immunotherapy.

Although a rare occurrence and known to have a poor prognosis, B-Raf mutation positive programmed death ligand 1 overexpressed lung adenocarcinoma presenting with metastatic musculoskeletal lesions can respond favorably to a combination immune checkpoint inhibitor and BRAF inhibitor medication.

She underwent endoscopy and imaging; she also received transfusions, IVIG and pulse dexamethasone given concerns for ITP...Patient was initiated on carboplatin/pemetrexed (pembrolizumab held given refractory ITP)... A concurrent case of lung adenocarcinoma with IPT-like FDCS is unusual. We would like to highlight this rare entity especially in the setting of severe thrombocytopenia and the clinical challenges in using PD-1 inhibitors (such as pembrolizumab) which are known to cause thrombocytopenia.

The LAR subtype was characterized by a high rate of PIK3CA mutation, CD274 (encodes PD-L1) and PDCD1LG2 (encodes PD-L2) deletion, and a low homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) score. The non-LAR LD TIL group was characterized by a high frequency of NOTCH2 and MYC amplification and a high HRD score.

Seventeen patients received immunotherapy, and 1 patient received targeted therapy with the MET inhibitor glumetinib. PSC has a higher incidence in the elderly, smokers, and males, is highly malignant and has a poor prognosis. Based on its molecular biological characteristics, PD-L1 expression and tumor molecular detection can be performed to guide treatment options.

Taken together, these results confirm the value of biomarker testing in ES-NSCLC. Although approved targeted therapies for ES-NSCLC are still limited, the identification of actionable alterations could improve patients' selection for immunotherapy, favoring the enrollment in clinical trials and allowing a faster treatment start at disease recurrence.

Our findings contribute to the growing evidence that PD-L1 is expressed in the majority of invasive VSCCs, and thus may serve as an attractive therapeutic target. PD-L1 expression is higher in HPV-independent tumors, suggesting that this subtype may be more responsive to PD-L1 inhibitor therapy.
