Background/aim: Chemoimmunotherapy is a promising treatment for various malignant diseases. In this study, we examined whether first-line chemoimmunotherapy using adoptive immune-cell therapy was effective for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC).
Patients And Methods: The therapeutic efficacy and safety of the standard first-line chemoimmunotherapy with adoptive αβ T cell therapy and bevacizumab were assessed using thirty-two patients with mCRC in our hospital. Immunological status after this chemoimmunotherapy was also evaluated.
Results: The response and disease control rates were 68.8% and 87.5%, respectively. Further, median progression-free and overall survival were 14.2 and 35.3 months. Immunotherapy-associated toxicity was minimal. Significant decrease in the change of monocyte number (p=0.006) and increase in the change of rate of lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (p=0.039) were seen in the complete response group.
Conclusion: First-line chemoimmunotherapy with adoptive αβ T cell therapy may be useful for mCRC.

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) is increasingly considered as a separate entity from other biliary tract cancers (BTCs), due to differences in aetiology, risk factors, pathobiology, anatomical and molecular biology characteristics. Surgery is the only curative option for the ∼ 30 % who are diagnosed with a resectable disease, while liver-directed therapies (LDTs - i.e.

Background: Brain metastases (BM) are common in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Although guidelines recommend baseline BM screening in asymptomatic patients, its benefit remains unproven. Routine imaging burdens healthcare systems and patients.

Introduction: There have been recent major advances in the management and treatment of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). This uncommon subtype of mature B-cell lymphoma has a heterogeneous clinical course, including a spectrum of indolent and aggressive disease. While historically regarded as an incurable disease with a poor long-term prognosis, recent developments have improved outcomes.

Survival Outcomes: Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most prevalent adult leukemia. CLL treatment has evolved dramatically from alkylator-based regimens to chemoimmunotherapy and targeted therapies. This study evaluated real-world survival outcomes across treatment eras using population-based data, focusing on patients who received active systemic therapy to assess treatment effectiveness rather than natural disease progression.

Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) have not been investigated as predictive biomarkers in patients with advanced biliary tract cancer (ABTC) who received chemoimmunotherapy. In the single-arm phase II T1219 trial, 46 patients with ABTC received first-line nivolumab, gemcitabine, and S-1 treatment. Plasma samples were prospectively collected at baseline and 6 weeks after treatment for miRNA profiling.
