Background: The present study aimed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of pembrolizumab combined with chemotherapy versus placebo plus chemotherapy for patients with previously untreated locally recurrent inoperable or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer from the perspective of the Chinese healthcare system.

Methods: A Markov model was developed to track patients' transitions over 3-week cycles and evaluate the health and economic outcomes over a 10-year horizon for the two competing treatments. The survival data were gathered from the KEYNOTE-355 trial, and cost and utility values were obtained from the published studies.

Objective: Prognostic biomarkers in patients with advanced cervical cancer treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors remain unclear. An evaluation of combined positive score (CPS) and tumor proportion score (TPS), and a comparison of their usefulness with inflammatory biomarkers in real-world data could be informative.

Materials And Methods: We analyzed 28 patients who were treated with the KEYNOTE-826 regimen between November 2022 and June 2024.

Aim: To critically review the emerging evidence from two randomised trials-KEYNOTE-689 and NIVOPOSTOP-on perioperative immune checkpoint inhibition in resectable, locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, and to elucidate how these positive results may redefine the current and future treatment paradigms.

Methods: We conducted a narrative review comparing the design, patient populations, treatment protocols, and outcomes of KEYNOTE-689 and NIVOPOSTOP. Data sources included ClinicalTrials.

: Patients with resected stage IIB and IIC melanoma are at high risk of recurrence and distant metastasis, despite surgical treatment. The recent emergence of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has led to their evaluation in the adjuvant setting for early-stage disease. This review aims to synthesize current evidence regarding adjuvant immunotherapy for stage IIB/IIC melanoma, explore emerging strategies, and highlight key challenges and future directions.
