YAP is a strong predictive biomarker of response to immunotherapy in NSCLC. The combination of TD and ICIs shows promise in reversing immunotherapy resistance associated with high YAP expression, offering a potential strategy to overcome acquired resistance.

Despite CHOP, CHOEP, DA-EPOCH, and AC-CHOP (azacitidine plus chidamide) regimens, the patient experienced primary refractory disease and died 6 months from diagnosis following COVID-19 superinfection. To our knowledge, this is the first case reporting single-cell transcriptomic comparison of skin versus blood compartments in PTCL-NOS, revealing how cutaneous microenvironment sculpts aggressive malignant phenotypes and providing potential targets for compartment-specific therapy.
For example, a recent study in Communications Medicine has demonstrated that histone deacetylase inhibitors de-repress transcription of a tumor suppressor GSDME in B-cell lymphoma cells, and synergize with cisplatin and etoposide to promote GSDME cleavage by caspase-3 and subsequent pyroptosis of lymphoma cells. Furthermore, the anti-lymphoma efficacy of this combination therapy in vivo depends on CD8 T cells. This article provides a brief introduction of the pyroptosis pathway in cancer, comments on this promising 'One action, two benefits' therapeutic strategy for cancer treatment, and discusses the significance and unaddressed questions in recent therapeutic studies targeting pyroptosis-suppressing mechanisms in cancer.
