This article conducts a meta-analysis to evaluate the safety and efficacy of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors in patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (R/R DLBCL). A total of 63 papers were initially retrieved, and eight clinical studies were collected. The estimated effect of ORR was [OR = 0.40, 95% CI 0.29-0.51; = 0.08], the estimated effect of complete response rate was [OR = 0.21, 95% CI 0.14-0.31; < 0.001], while the estimated effect of 1-year progression-free survival was [OR = 0.33, 95% CI 0.22-0.47; = 0.01]. The estimated effect of 1-year OS was [OR = 0.67, 95% CI 0.55-0.77; = 0.05]. In addition, the estimated effect of grade 3 adverse events was [OR = 0.33, 95% CI 0.22-0.46; = 0.01]. Overall, PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors demonstrated suboptimal therapeutic efficacy in the selected trials for R/R DLBCL. However, combining PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors with CAR-T showed potential for improved treatment outcomes. Additionally, PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors were found to be safe and well-tolerated in patients with R/R DLBCL.

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.

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.

Bladder cancer remains a significant global health challenge, particularly affecting male populations. While radical cystectomy and chemotherapy have been mainstays of treatment, their substantial morbidity and impact on quality of life have driven the development of bladder-preserving immunotherapeutic strategies. Clinical trial data support the use of ICIs as first-line therapy for cisplatin-ineligible patients, second-line treatment for platinum-refractory disease, and maintenance therapy.
