A large proportion of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients harbor clinically actionable genomic alterations, detected in general by broad Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) panels, since it is the gold standard test and strongly recommended by different societies. However, high failure rates due to preanalytical factors and long turnaround times are still hindering rapid treatment decision taking in the real-world setting. The objective of this study was to validate the IntelliPlex Lung Cancer Panel by πCODE Technology for biomarker detection using clinical specimens compared to NGS as the gold standard methodology. A total of fifty-eight (58) Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded tissue (FFPE) samples from fifty-three (53) patients diagnosed with advanced lung adenocarcinoma and 2 reference controls were used. Overall, the test presented 97,73% sensitivity, 100% specificity and 98,15% accuracy. The IntelliPlex Lung Cancer Panel DNA presented 98% agreement, and the IntelliPlex Lung Cancer Panel RNA presented 100% agreement between the results obtained from the CGP NGS methodology. The IntelliPlex Lung Cancer Panel by πCODE Technology demonstrates high specificity and sensitivity for use in clinical laboratories to routine detection for actionable mutations and fusions in NSCLC tumor samples, with high potential to become an alternative to broad NGS panels according to pre-analytical factors.

Unlabelled: Leptomeningeal metastasis (LM) is a severe complication of solid malignancies, including lung adenocarcinoma, characterized by poor prognosis and diagnostic challenges. This study assesses whether curvilinear peri-brainstem hyperintense signals on MRI are a characteristic feature of LM in lung adenocarcinoma patients.
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed data from multiple centers, encompassing lung adenocarcinoma patients with peri-brainstem curvilinear hyperintense signals on MRI between January 2016 and March 2022.

Unlabelled: Encephalitis is a potentially life-threatening condition with infectious or autoimmune aetiologies. Autoimmune encephalitis includes paraneoplastic variants associated with specific onconeural antibodies such as anti-Hu, frequently linked to malignancies. Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is the leading infectious cause in adults.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive breast cancer subtype, characterized by a high propensity for metastasis, poor prognosis, and limited treatment options. Research has demonstrated a substantial correlation between the expression of protein arginine N-methyltransferase 1 (PRMT1) and enhanced proliferation, metastasis, and poor outcomes in TNBC. However, the specific role of PRMT1 in lung metastasis and chemoresistance remains unclear.

Background: People living with HIV(PLWH) are a high-risk population for cancer. We conducted a pioneering study on the gut microbiota of PLWH with various types of cancer, revealing key microbiota.
Methods: We collected stool samples from 54 PLWH who have cancer (PLWH-C), including Kaposi's sarcoma (KS, n=7), lymphoma (L, n=22), lung cancer (LC, n=12), and colorectal cancer (CRC, n=13), 55 PLWH who do not have cancer (PLWH-NC), and 49 people living without HIV (Ctrl).

Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are DNA-protein structures released during a form of programmed neutrophil death known as NETosis. While NETs have been implicated in both tumor inhibition and promotion, their functional role in cancer remains ambiguous. In this study, we compared the NET-forming capacity and functional effects of NETs derived from lung cancer (LC) patients and healthy donors (H).
