EGFR Exon 20 Insertion Mutations: Clinicopathological Characteristics and Treatment Outcomes in Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer - PubMed

EGFR Exon 20 Insertion Mutations: Clinicopathological Characteristics and Treatment Outcomes in Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34127383/

Although phenotypically similar to patients with common EGFR mutations, patients with EGFR ex20-mut had worse survival, perhaps due to the lack of targeted therapies. Chemotherapy was superior to conventional EGFR...

Efficacy and safety of treatment modalities across EGFR selected/unselected populations with non-small cell lung cancer and brain metastases: A systematic review and Bayesian network meta-analysis - PubMed

Efficacy and safety of treatment modalities across EGFR selected/unselected populations with non-small cell lung cancer and brain metastases: A systematic review and Bayesian network meta-analysis - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34126551/

Osimertinib appears to be the most effective and safest treatment in NSCLC patients with brain metastases, harboring EGFR positive mutations. The anti-PD1 monoclonal antibody and conventional chemotherapy combination increases survival...

Tissue-resident macrophages provide a pro-tumorigenic niche to early NSCLC cells

Tissue-resident macrophages provide a pro-tumorigenic niche to early NSCLC cells

Source : https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-021-03651-8

Macrophages have a key role in shaping the tumour microenvironment (TME), tumour immunity and response to immunotherapy, which makes them an important target for cancer treatment1,2. However, modulating macrophages has...
