The Use of Regorafenib in Patients with BRAF-Mutant Solid Tumors: A Summary of Results from the TAPUR Study Background Introduction The BRAF gene belongs to the cytoplasmic serine/threonine kinase family and regulates cell proliferation and survival by activating the mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway (MAPK). BRAF mutations can lead...

In contemporary clinical oncology practice and drug development, the methods for evaluating tumor response are on the cusp of a revolution. Since the World Health Organization (WHO) proposed tumor response classification criteria for assessing the effectiveness of anti-cancer drugs in 1981, this field has undergone several improvements. Notably, th...

Transcriptomic Analysis of Prostate Cancer Patients: A Study on Nonlocalized Disease Based on Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography Academic Background Prostate cancer is a common male malignancy, and its diagnosis and treatment are crucial to patient prognosis. Transcriptomic analysis is a technique us...

Overall Survival and Treatment Patterns in Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer Patients Based on PTEN Status Academic Background Prostate cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors among men worldwide and a leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Approximately 10%-20% of prostate cancer patients will develop castration-resistant ...

In the tumor microenvironment (Tumor Microenvironment, TME), Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors (ICIs) targeting PD-1 or PD-L1 enhance the body’s natural ability to eliminate cancer cells by disrupting the inhibitory receptor-ligand interaction. However, even so, critical trials indicate that the response rate for monotherapy is <50%, with a median Progr...

Ovarian cancer is one of the most common and deadly tumor types in women. In recent years, Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) have shown encouraging clinical results in the treatment of ovarian cancer. Numerous studies have found that patients with homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) benefit more from PARPi treatment. Therefore, ...

Scientific Research Report Background Introduction Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide among both men and women, and it is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women. The standard treatment for early-stage breast cancer usually involves surgery and (neo)adjuvant chemotherapy and/or endocrine therapy, aiming to eli...

Clinical Validation of AI-based Interpretation of PD-L1 Tumor Proportion Score in Predicting Response to Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer In the field of tumor treatment and diagnosis, the assessment of PD-L1 (Programmed Death-Ligand 1) Tumor Proportion Score (TPS) is a critical task, especially in predicting the response ...

Background of Urgent Problem Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers among men. Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) is an advanced form of prostate cancer characterized by resistance to castration therapy. Radium-223 is an α-emitting radiopharmaceutical that has been shown to improve overall survival (OS) and reduce sk...

Latest Research in Lung Cancer Genomics: Analysis of Circulating Tumor DNA Detection in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Background and Motivation In recent years, the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has seen significant changes due to the success of targeted therapies. The National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines recommend extens...
