Conclusions: ICI plus conventional treatment could significantly improve PFS and OS in overall advanced lung cancer patients. PD-1-based combination leads to the greatest improvement in both PFS and OS. More data are warranted to address the association of PD-L1 staining intensity with OS improvement. Male, current or former smokers, non-squamous and patients without driver mutations do benefit from ICI-based combination. PMID: 31656652 [PubMed] (Source: Journal of Thoracic Disease)

Conclusions: SEMS insertion with flexible bronchoscopy without fluoroscopic guidance in the patients with airway involvement due to advanced esophageal cancer was safe and feasible. The patients who received anti-cancer therapy before the procedure and those with ARF had a poor prognosis. Post-airway stenting therapy had the positive impact on survival in these patients.

Conclusions: SIRT2 expression levels were significantly related to the survival time of patients with lung ADC but not SCC. Our study indicated SIRT2 was perhaps a specific prognostic biomarker for non-metastasized lung ADC. PMID: 31656671 [PubMed] (Source: Journal of Thoracic Disease)
