Objectives: Although the ninth edition N descriptors have been validated in upfront surgery populations, evidence supporting their validity in prognostic stratification in the neoadjuvant setting remains sparse. The study aimed to validate the prognostic relevance of exploratory quaternary N scheme refinement relative to the ninth edition N classification in postneoadjuvant non-small cell lung cancer.
Methods: We identified 1005 patients with non-small cell lung cancer who underwent complete resection after neoadjuvant therapy from 4 centers between May 2019 and September 2022.
Background: The effect of KRAS mutant subtypes on the outcome and recurrence pattern of patients with nonadvanced lung cancer remains controversial. This study aimed to broadly elucidate the oncologic characteristics of G12C mutation in resected non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Methods: A total of 18,509 stage I-III NSCLC patients who received surgical resection and genetic assay were retrospectively enrolled.
Objective: The potential survival benefits of adjuvant immunotherapy for resectable NSCLC after neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy, and the optimal number of adjuvant immunotherapy cycles, remain uncertain. This study aims to evaluate the prognostic impact of adjuvant immunotherapy and determine the optimal number of cycles.
Methods: A total of 438 patients who received neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy between August 2019 and June 2022 across four hospitals were enrolled in this study, with a median follow-up time of 31.

Background: We aimed to validate the prognostic implication of uncertain resection, R(un), proposed by International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) and evaluate the prognostic value of spread through air spaces (STAS) in reclassifying the R classification among patients with lung adenocarcinoma after segmentectomy.
Methods: We enrolled 1007 patients who underwent segmentectomy for c-stage IA lung adenocarcinoma between 2014 and 2017. Recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) were compared to evaluate the prognostic value of IASLC-R(un) and STAS.
Background: The eighth edition of nodal classification is defined only by the anatomical location of metastatic lymph nodes and has limited prognostic discrimination power. The authors aimed to evaluate the prognostic significance and discriminatory capability of the number of metastatic lymph nodes (nN) in resected nonsmall cell lung cancer.
Materials And Methods: Patients with stage IA to IIIB resected nonsmall cell lung cancer between 1 January 2009 and 31 December 2013 were analyzed as a Chinese cohort.
Background: Micropapillary (MIP) component was a major concern in determining surgical strategy in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). We sought to develop a novel method for detecting MIP component during surgery.
Methods: Differentially expressed proteins between MIP-positive and MIP-negative LUAD were identified through proteomics analysis.
Core-shell structured photoresponsive molecularly imprinted polymers were developed for the determination of sulfamethazine in milk samples. The photoresponsive imprinted polymers were prepared with polymethyl methacrylate containing a mass of ester groups as core, sulfamethazine as template molecules, self-synthesized water-soluble 4-[(4-methacryloyloxy)phenylazo] benzenesulfonic acid as a photoresponsive monomer, and ethylene dimethacrylate as cross-linker. Interestingly, the imprinted polymer can specifically adsorb sulfamethazine under dark and 440 nm irradiation, and release it at 365 nm.
