Article Abstract

The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of liver metastases on the efficacy from the combination of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor with chemotherapy as first-line treatment in lung cancer using the meta-analysis. A total of 8 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included. In patients without liver metastases, PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor plus chemotherapy could decrease the risk of progression by 40% and risk of death by 29% (HR = 0.60; 95%CI,0.55- 0.65 and HR = 0.71;95%CI,0.58-0.90 respectively). In patients with liver metastases, PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor plus chemotherapy could decrease the risk of progression by 31% and risk of death by 21% (HR = 0.69;95%CI,0.58-0.81; and HR = 0.79; 95%CI,0.62-0.80, respectively). The pooled ratios of PFS-HRs and OS- HRs reported in lung cancer patients with liver metastases versus those without liver metastases were 1.11 (95%CI, 0.92-1.34) and 1.03 (95%CI, 0.80-1.35), respectively, suggesting that lung cancer patients with and without liver metastases could obtain comparable efficacy.

Introduction And Aim: Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs) are rare neoplasms originating in neuroendocrine cells from the gastric mucosa and submucosa, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, and pancreas. Our aim was to describe their histopathologic, endoscopic, and clinical characteristics and the experience with these tumors at a tertiary care hospital center in the Colombian Southwest.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective, analytic, observational, and descriptive study included 93 patients diagnosed with GEP-NETs, within the time frame of 2018 and 2022.

Purpose: To build computed tomography (CT)-based radiomics models, with independent external validation, to predict recurrence and disease-specific mortality in patients with colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) who underwent liver resection.

Methods: 113 patients were included in this retrospective study: the internal training cohort comprised 66 patients, while the external validation cohort comprised 47. All patients underwent a CT study before surgery.

Given the limited diagnostic technologies and treatment options available for lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) patients with liver metastases, it is crucial to identify potential genomic signatures associated with liver metastasis, which could significantly contribute to the development of improved diagnostic tools and treatment strategies for LUAD patients with liver metastases. In this study, we identified specific genetic alterations in tumor samples with liver metastases by targeted capture sequencing. The results showed that the significantly higher mutation frequencies of , and in LUAD patients with liver metastases and and mutations found in both tumor tissues and plasma samples from patients with liver metastases.

Efficacious suppression of primary and metastasized liver tumors by polyIC-loaded lipid nanoparticles.

Background And Aims: So far, there is no effective mechanism-based therapeutic agent tailored for liver tumors. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have demonstrated limited efficacy in liver cancer, often associated with severe adverse effects. Although poly-inosinic:cytidylic acid (polyIC) has shown an adjuvant effect when combined with anti-PD-L1 antibody (αPD-L1) in treating liver tumors in animal models, its systemic toxicity limits its clinical utility.
