Article Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignancies worldwide. With the development of systemic therapies, several studies are currently underway, especially those related to the use of programmed death-1/programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-1/PD-L1) immunotherapy. Moreover, studies on transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) and PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy have demonstrated some interesting outcomes. This article reviewed the current clinical evidence on the combination of TACE and PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy. Overall, our review summarized that a favorable survival time could be achieved using this combination in most patients. However, complications such as hyperprogression should be taken seriously, and the underlying mechanisms need to be explored.

Lung cancer, particularly non-small cell lung cancer, is a leading cause of global mortality, with many cases diagnosed at advanced stages. The Toll-Like Receptor (TLR) signaling pathway plays a crucial role in linking inflammation to lung cancer progression, with both pro-tumor and anti-tumor effects. This perspective delves into the complex functions of TLR proteins in lung cancers, elucidating their involvement in tumor growth, angiogenesis, and metastasis.

Cancer immunotherapy represents a transformative strategy in modern oncology, utilizing the body's immune system to recognize and eliminate malignant cells with precision. Unlike traditional therapies, which often directly target the tumor, immunotherapy enhances the immune system's inherent ability to differentiate between healthy and cancerous cells. The advent of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), particularly those targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 and CTLA-4 pathways, has marked a significant breakthrough in this field.

Tumors frequently evade immune destruction by impairing cytotoxic CD8 T-cell responses, highlighting the need for strategies that restore T-cell functionality. Here, we identify SLAMF7 (CD319) as a key enhancer of human CD8 T-cell responses against tumors. SLAMF7 expression is induced by pro-inflammatory signals such as IL-12 and CD28 co-stimulation.

Introduction: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death worldwide with most of patients diagnosed at advanced stage. Thus, systemic therapy remains a cornerstone of treatment. In recent years, immunotherapy has changed therapeutic scenario, being investigated also in combination with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) agents.

While the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is well-established, sex-based differences in treatment responses remain insufficiently explored. This study examines how sex disparities impact ICI treatment outcomes in advanced-stage NSCLC, focusing on the role of tumor mutational burden (TMB) in these differences. This study analyzed data from 174 advanced-stage, chemotherapy-naïve, NSCLC patients treated with ICIs, including PD-1/PD-L1 and CTLA-4 inhibitors, to assess sex differences in treatment response and survival outcomes.
