Comparative effectiveness and safety of systemic therapies for treatment-naïve, PD-L1 expression <1% advanced NSCLC: a systematic review and network meta-analysis. (PubMed, Transl Lung Cancer Res)
In terms of OS, pembrolizumab + chemotherapy + canakinumab (Pembro-chemo-canakinumab) (SUCRA =0.90) showed great potential in improving outcomes, although its long-term efficacy still needed to be validated...For squamous patients, nivolumab + ipilimumab ± chemotherapy (Nivo-ipi-chemo) led in OS, while serplulimab + chemotherapy in PFS. First-line personalized treatment for PD-L1 <1%, advanced NSCLC should be histology-based, balancing efficacy and toxicity. Pembro-chemo and nivolumab + chemotherapy + bevacizumab combinations are recommended as the optimal first-line options for non-squamous patients, and Nivo-ipi-chemo for squamous patients.

Radiation Recall Pneumonitis with Pneumocystis jirovecii Superinfection and Treatment Induced Hyponatremia in a Patient with Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer. (PubMed, Diseases)
We report a unique case of a 65-year-old man with squamous-cell NSCLC and high PD-L1 expression (80%), who developed a rare complication: radiation recall pneumonitis (RRP), with superimposed Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia and severe symptomatic hyponatremia induced by trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX). The coexistence of these three complications-radiotherapy- and immunotherapy-associated lung injury, opportunistic infection, and electrolyte imbalance-represents an exceptional clinical scenario not previously described in the literature. This report highlights the importance of differential diagnosis, early recognition of complications, and close monitoring of electrolytes in NSCLC patients undergoing complex treatment regimens.
