Immunotherapy is revolutionizing oncology, but its therapeutic efficiency is still limited by the off-target toxicities and poor antitumor immune responses. By integrating the drug-loaded nanoparticles (DMnSH) with the unique metabolic traits of (Vei), a probiotic-nanomedicine conjugate Vei@DMnSH biohybrid is elaborately designed for enhanced cancer chemo-immunotherapy. Specifically, Vei@DMnSH can accumulate in hypoxic tumor sites and simultaneously consume lactate and cysteine to reverse the lactate-associated immunosuppression and impede the biosynthesis of GSH. In addition, the DMnSH nanoparticles will rapidly deplete intracellular GSH and disassemble to release DOX and Mn. Accompanied by the two-pronged GSH depletion, the Mn-mediated Fenton-like reaction can effectively generate oxidative hydroxyl radicals to induce heavy redox imbalance. Combined with the therapeutic effect of DOX, robust immunogenic cell death is provoked and subsequently activates antitumor adaptive immunity with a tumor suppression rate over 82%, synergistically enhancing the therapeutic outcomes of cancer chemo-immunotherapy.

Background: Immunotherapy has rapidly changed the treatment of early-stage non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in recent years. We aimed to summarize available evidence on the use of immunotherapy in neoadjuvant/perioperative and adjuvant settings for resectable NSCLC and explore some controversial subgroups.
Materials And Methods: Systematic literature research was carried out for randomized controlled trials of neoadjuvant/perioperative chemo-immunotherapy or adjuvant immunotherapy for resectable NSCLC.

Melanoma remains a challenging malignancy despite the significant outcomes achieved with immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) monotherapy. Here, we investigated a polymer-based chemo-immunotherapy strategy combining KT-1, a backbone-degradable N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide (HPMA) copolymer-epirubicin conjugate that induces immunogenic cell death (ICD), with MPPA, a multivalent HPMA copolymer-peptide antagonist of PD-L1 (PPA: (NYSKPTDRQYHF). In B16F10 melanoma, a 3-day dosing schedule significantly outperformed 7-day dosing.

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.

Since the United States Food and Drug Administration approved the first immune checkpoint inhibitor ipilimumab for metastatic melanoma in 2011, ICIs have been approved for a range of cancers and significantly improving treatment outcomes. However, the objective response rate of ICI monotherapy remains modest (10-40%), with clinical benefit observed in only 15-20% of patients. The limited efficacy of ICIs in many patients is often attributed to poorly immunogenic ("cold") tumors.
