doi: 10.1111/1759-7714.14236. Online ahead of print. 1 Department of Pulmonary Medicine, Graduate School of Medical Science, Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine, Kyoto, Japan. 2 Department of Respiratory Medicine, Japanese Red...



Conclusion/Relevance: Our retrospective observations suggest that the group with longer PFS with chemoimmunotherapy might be expected to benefit from docetaxel plus ramucirumab treatment in second-line settings for patients with advanced NSCLC.

Dual role of IL-37 in the progression of tumors - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34800851/

Interleukin (IL)-37 is a novel defined cytokine that belongs to IL-1 family, which possesses potent anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties. The IL-37 protein mainly exists in the cytoplasm of monocytes and...


Relevance: In this review, we will summarize the role of IL-37 in the microenvironment of different tumors, hoping to provide novel perspectives towards the mechanism, prevention, and treatment of tumors.

The pan-tumor landscape of targetable kinase fusions in circulating tumor DNA - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34753780/

Targetable kinase fusions are identified in ctDNA across cancer types. In pairs with tissue-identified fusions, fusion detection in ctDNA is reliable with elevated ctDNA fraction. These data support the validity...


Targetable kinase fusions are identified in ctDNA across cancer types. In pairs with tissue-identified fusions, fusion detection in ctDNA is reliable with elevated ctDNA fraction. These data support the validity of CGP to enable ctDNA-based fusion detection for informing clinical care in advanced cancer.
