Article Abstract

Osimertinib is an effective strategy for nonsmall-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the acquired resistance neutralizes the efficacy of osimertinib. Herein, we investigated the potential biomarkers of osimertinib-resistant lung cancer. GSE200894 was used to analyze the differentially expressed genes in osimertinib-resistant lung cancer. Sixty-two paired surgical specimens were collected from NSCLC patients with stage I-IV. Gene expression was detected using reverse transcription (RT)-qPCR, western blot, and immunohistochemistry. V-set domain containing T cell activation inhibitor 1 (VTCN1) was overexpressed in osimertinib-resistant lung cancer. High levels of VTCN1 predicted advanced stages and distant metastasis. Moreover, VTCN1 expression was negatively correlated with the purity of CD8+ T cells in lung cancer patients. VTCN1 inhibits the infiltration of effector-memory CD8+ T cells. In addition, overexpressed VTCN1 predicted the exhaustion of CD8+ T cells. VTCN1 inhibits the tumor-killing ability of CD8+ T cells. In summary, VTCN1 is overexpressed in osimertinib-resistant lung cancer patients. High levels of VTCN1 confer to inhibition of CD8+ T cell immunity and immune tolerance in osimertinib-resistant lung cancer patients.

Importance: Patients with advanced cancer frequently receive broad-spectrum antibiotics, but changing use patterns across the end-of-life trajectory remain poorly understood.

Objective: To describe the patterns of broad-spectrum antibiotic use across defined end-of-life intervals in patients with advanced cancer.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This nationwide, population-based, retrospective cohort study used data from the South Korean National Health Insurance Service database to examine broad-spectrum antibiotic use among patients with advanced cancer who died between July 1, 2002, and December 31, 2021.

To evaluate intraoperative ventilatory mechanics during robotic-assisted hysterectomy in obese women with endometrial cancer and introduce the concept of a physiologic "ceiling effect" in respiratory strain. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 89 women with biopsy-confirmed endometrial cancer who underwent robotic-assisted total hysterectomy between 2011 and 2015. Intraoperative ventilatory parameters, including plateau airway pressure and static lung compliance, were recorded at five-minute intervals.

Purpose: The German sector-based healthcare system poses a major challenge to continuous patient monitoring and long-term follow-up, both essential for generating high-quality, longitudinal real-world data. The national Network for Genomic Medicine (nNGM) bridges the inpatient and outpatient care sectors to provide comprehensive molecular diagnostics and personalized treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients in Germany. Building on the established nNGM infrastructure, the DigiNet study aims to evaluate the impact of digitally integrated, personalized care on overall survival (OS) and the optimization of treatment pathways, compared to routine care.
