Precision Medicine in Treating Lung Cancer: A Narrative Review on Treatments Targeting Oncogenic Genetic Mutations. (PubMed, Cureus)
However, the associated adverse effects of these agents, along with drug resistance, remain a challenge. In this review, we discuss targeted therapies for lung cancer, their efficacy, clinical trials, adverse effects, mechanisms of resistance, and future directions.

A Rare Case of Esophageal Small-Cell Neuroendocrine Carcinoma Presenting With Progressive Dysphagia. (PubMed, Cureus)
A multidisciplinary approach enabled timely diagnosis and treatment planning. This case highlights the importance of maintaining a broad differential diagnosis and the value of EUS as an essential tool for accurate staging and management of rare esophageal tumors.

Inducible T Cell Costimulator Ligand and Inducible T Cell Costimulator Stratification Identify Dichotomous Tumor Microenvironment and Guide Chemo-Immunotherapy in Small Cell Lung Cancer. (PubMed, MedComm (2020))
Dual ICOSLG and ICOS stratification revealed that the ICOSLG low and ICOS high subgroup derived the greatest benefit from chemo-immunotherapy (median OS: 17.2 vs. 9.8 months; p < 0.001). Collectively, this dual-stratification strategy refined patient selection for chemo-immunotherapy, unveiled actionable targets, and ultimately advanced precision immunotherapy in SCLC.

Multi-omics analysis identifies a major histocompatibility complex class II-associated antigen-presenting cancer-associated fibroblast-like state linked to the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2-karyopherin subunit beta 1 axis in nonsmall cell lung cancer. (PubMed, J Cell Commun Signal)
In vivo, inhibition of the NRF2-KPNB1 axis enhanced response to anti-PD-1. NSCLC contains an MHC-II-associated apCAF-like state linked to the NRF2-KPNB1 axis and altered response to PD-1 blockade.

DLL3 Expression in a Genotyped Cohort of Sporadic Medullary Thyroid Carcinomas. (PubMed, Am J Surg Pathol)
Among cases with follow-up data (n=35), all 17 tumors with disease progression were DLL3 positive (13 RET-mutated tumors, 1 RAS-mutated tumor, and 3 RET/RAS wild-type tumors), including 5 with moderate expression and 12 with high expression. Most MTCs express DLL3; moreover, DLL3 expression is associated with lymph node metastases at diagnosis and disease progression, indicating that DLL3 may be an effective therapeutic target in MTC.

Retrospective Analysis of HER2 Testing, Treatment Patterns, and Clinical Outcomes in Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic NSCLC With HER2 Mutations in France. (PubMed, Cancer Med)
This real-world study demonstrates the low frequency of HER2 testing and potential poor prognosis for patients diagnosed with LAM HER2m NSCLC in France between 2015 and 2020. Despite the low prevalence of HER2m NSCLC, these data highlight the importance of routine HER2 testing to enable patients with HER2m NSCLC to receive treatments that can improve clinical outcomes.

Integrative single-cell and spatial transcriptomics analysis reveals a baicalein-responsive 10-gene signature for non-small cell lung cancer. (PubMed, Transl Oncol)
This integrative study provides a comprehensive single‑cell and spatial atlas of baicalein‑responsive genes in NSCLC, identifies a robust diagnostic signature, and offers mechanistic insights for developing baicalein as a potential therapeutic agent.
