Pan-cancer analysis of the prognosis and immunological role of AKAP12: A potential biomarker for resistance to anti-VEGF inhibitors

Pan-cancer analysis of the prognosis and immunological role of AKAP12: A potential biomarker for resistance to anti-VEGF inhibitors

Source : https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fgene.2022.943006/full

The primary or acquired resistance to anti-VEGF inhibitors remains a common problem in cancer treatment. Therefore, identifying potential biomarkers enables a better understanding of the precise mechanism. Through the GEO...


Conclusion/Relevance: Importantly, we discovered that AKAP12 expression was greatly associated with metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma as well as differential and angiogenesis of retinoblastoma through investigating the single-cell sequencing data. Our study showed that the dual role of AKAP12 in various cancers and AKAP12 could serve as a...

Optimal Treatments for NSCLC Patients Harboring Primary or Acquired MET Amplification - PubMed

Optimal Treatments for NSCLC Patients Harboring Primary or Acquired MET Amplification - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36148917/

Background : In non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients harboring MET mutations, MET-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have been proven to achieve a good response. However, the relative efficacy of different...


Conclusions: Immunotherapy showed a low response in patients harboring MET alterations, even those with concurrent high PD-L1 expression. MET-TKIs might be an optional treatment with worth-expecting efficacy. However, chemotherapy plus bevacizumab could benefit the subpopulation of patients harboring acquired MET amplification after the failure...

Recurrence patterns and progression-free survival after chemoradiotherapy with or without consolidation durvalumab for stage III non-small cell lung cancer - PubMed

Recurrence patterns and progression-free survival after chemoradiotherapy with or without consolidation durvalumab for stage III non-small cell lung cancer - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36149029/

Chemoradiotherapy followed by consolidation durvalumab (CCRT+D) improves survival in patients with stage III non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We compared recurrence patterns and survival in the CCRT+D and CCRT cohorts. We...


Conclusion: Consolidation durvalumab decreased both LR and DM, and significantly improved PFS. However, in-field recurrence was still a major problem, as well as DM.

A Phase II Trial of Atezolizumab Plus Carboplatin Plus Pemetrexed Plus Bevacizumab in the Treatment of Patients with Stage IV Non-Squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: Big Ten Cancer Research Consortium (BTCRC)- LUN 17-139

A Phase II Trial of Atezolizumab Plus Carboplatin Plus Pemetrexed Plus Bevacizumab in the Treatment of Patients with Stage IV Non-Squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: Big Ten Cancer Research Consortium (BTCRC)- LUN 17-139

Source : https://www.clinical-lung-cancer.com/article/S1525-7304(22)00157-7/fulltext

Micro-AbstractThe BTCRC-LUN 17-139 is a single arm phase II study which evaluated the combination of Atezolizumab plus Carboplatin plus Pemetrexed plus Bevacizumab in stage IV treatment naïve non-squamous NSCLC. The...


Conclusion: ABCPem was associated with increased PFS compared to historical controls but this difference did not meet the statistical significance. Three on-treatment deaths and 5 thromboembolic events prompted early closure.

Conclusions: This study provides further validation of PIOS in aNSCLC patients treated with anti-PD-1 monotherapy.
