Article Abstract
We present the case of a patient with Myxofibrosarcoma (MFS), a mesenchymal type of soft tissue sarcoma (STS) and the response to combination immunotherapy with anti PD-1 and anti-CTLA-4 therapy, following disease progression after Standard chemotherapy (SACT) and Radiotherapy (RT). We have shown a timeline of treatment and responses, as well as the overall safety profile and the management of immunotherapy related adverse events. This study demonstrates the potential of checkpoint inhibitors as therapeutic agents in the treatment of MFS.

Viral warfare: unleashing engineered oncolytic viruses to outsmart cancer's defenses.

Oncolytic virotherapy (OVT) has emerged as a promising and innovative cancer treatment strategy that harnesses engineered viruses to selectively infect, replicate within, and destroys malignant cells while sparing healthy tissues. Beyond direct oncolysis, oncolytic viruses (OVs) exploit tumor-specific metabolic, antiviral, and immunological vulnerabilities to reshape the tumor microenvironment (TME) and initiate systemic antitumor immunity. Despite promising results from preclinical and clinical studies, several barriers, including inefficient intratumoral virus delivery, immune clearance, and tumor heterogeneity, continue to limit the therapeutic advantages of OVT as a standalone modality and hindered its clinical success.

We focused on a paper titled "Radiation with immunotherapy may be a double-edged sword-how can we learn from recent negative clinical trials?", which was published in recently. Herein, we initially provided three complementary viewpoints from biological perspectives involved in the dynamic alterations of the tumor microenvironment, which may contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the superiority of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT).

Gliomas are the most common primary malignant tumors of the central nervous system (CNS), and despite progress in molecular diagnostics and targeted therapies, their prognosis remains poor. In recent years, immunotherapy has emerged as a promising treatment modality in cancer therapy. However, the inevitable immune evasion by tumor cells is a key barrier affecting therapeutic efficacy.

Pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma (PSC) is a rare and aggressive subtype of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with limited treatment options and poor prognosis. mutations generally respond to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs)-based targeted therapy but are typically associated with resistance to immunotherapy. We report a case of oligometastatic PSC harboring compound mutations (p.

The combination of targeted therapies and immunotherapies for advanced and metastatic sarcomas has been proposed owing to the enhanced effect of antiangiogenic therapies on the tumor microenvironment. We found eight studies published to date assessing the effectiveness of combined multitargeted vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-tyrosine kinase inhibitors with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in sarcoma. It is difficult to draw conclusions owing to limited data and primarily single-arm studies, although initial literature appears promising and requires further study.
