Herein, we report the first documented case of phenotypic conversion to SCLC in a patient with advanced pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma (PSC) who received pemetrexed, carboplatin, and camrelizumab only, with no targeted agents administered. TP53 and RET mutations may be implicated in this phenotypic transition. This case provides new insights into the biological mechanism underlying the evolution of PSC to SCLC.

Together, HAIC combined with camrelizumab and apatinib demonstrated favorable efficacy and acceptable safety in patients with advanced HCC. This combination regimen may represent a promising therapeutic strategy for advanced HCC.
Camrelizumab and apatinib with radiotherapy demonstrated encouraging efficacy with manageable toxicity in locally advanced, unresectable HCC, warranting randomized trials validation.

The patient underwent radical nephrectomy followed by biomarker-guided FLOT (fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin, and docetaxel) chemotherapy combined with camrelizumab immunotherapy, achieving a progression-free survival of approximately 7 months, accompanied by a temporary decline in tumor markers. Therapeutically, while the identified biomarker provided a rationale for precision therapy, the resulting clinical benefit was limited and transient. This suggests that the aggressive biology and spatial heterogeneity typical of CUP can attenuate the long-term efficacy of biomarker-guided interventions.
This study suggests that camrelizumab is associated with an improved PRR for HL, whereas, combination strategy of two ICI drugs, and that one of pembrolizumab and camrelizumab combined with conventional chemoradiotherapy are more effective for elevating the CRR and ORR respectively.

In this single-center retrospective study (January 2022-December 2025), we included adults with pathologically confirmed advanced NSCLC who received first-line treatment with pembrolizumab, tislelizumab, sintilimab, and camrelizumab. A pre-treatment CD4/CD8 ratio <1.65 remained is a simple, inexpensive biomarker that identifies lung cancer patients at high risk for early irAEs during single-agent PD-1/PD-L1 blockade. Prospective, multicenter validation is warranted.
Baseline CD8+ naïve-like T-cell abundance and spatial proximity to tumor cells, circulating CCL3 levels, and ctDNA dynamics may serve as potential prognostic biomarkers in resectable NSCLC receiving neoadjuvant camrelizumab plus chemotherapy.

Baseline hematological markers (NLR, PLR, ALBI, LDH) are valuable predictors of efficacy and prognosis in advanced NSCLC patients undergoing immunotherapy. Their prognostic roles vary by pathological subtype: squamous carcinoma relies more on inflammatory markers, while adenocarcinoma emphasizes metabolic markers and genetic mutations. This study provides a hematological biomarker-based stratification framework for individualized immunotherapy decisions in advanced NSCLC, offering critical guidance for optimizing treatment and prognosis management.
