Survival outcomes of PD-L1 high KRAS-mutated advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients treated with first-line immune checkpoint inhibitors: a single-center retrospective study (AIOM 2024)
KRAS mutation status did not significantly influence ICI efficacy, although a non-significant trend towards better survival was observed in KRAS-MT patients treated with first-line ICI. These findings contribute to the ongoing research in this field.

Identifying immunohistochemical biomarkers panel for non-small cell lung cancer in optimizing treatment and forecasting efficacy. (PubMed, BMC Cancer)
The results of our study are highly encouraging, as they revealed a significant correlation between immunohistochemical biomarkers, therapeutic regimens, and prognosis. These findings indicate that our immunohistochemical detection panel has great potential for facilitating customization of therapeutic regimens to improve patient care. The insights gained from this study could help clinicians optimize treatment protocols and ultimately enhance clinical outcomes.

Efficacy and Safety of a Therapy Combining Sintilimab and Chemotherapy With Cryoablation in the First-Line Treatment of Advanced Nonsquamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: Protocol for a Phase II, Pilot, Single-Arm, Single-Center Study. (PubMed, JMIR Res Protoc)
This study will provide evidence for the efficacy and safety of the combination of immunochemotherapy and cryoablation as a first-line treatment for advanced NSCLC. Although it has a limited sample size, the findings of this study will be used in the future to inform the design of a fully powered, 2-arm, larger-scale study.

Serum CYFRA 21-1 as a Prognostic Marker in Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer Patients Treated with Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
Patients with high serum CYFRA 21-1 levels exhibited a significantly shorter OS even focusing on non-squamous NSCLC, anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibody and chemotherapy combination therapy, or anti-CTLA-4 antibody combination therapy. Serum CYFRA 21-1 is a poor prognostic marker for patients with NSCLC receiving anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibody treatment even when stratifying by histology or treatment regimen.

Adagrasib in KRYSTAL-12 has Broken the KRAS G12C Enigma Code in Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma. (PubMed, Lung Cancer (Auckl))
The Phase III KRYSTAL-12 trial demonstrated that adagrasib significantly improved median progression-free survival (mPFS) compared with docetaxel (HR, 0.58; 95% CI: 0.45-0.76; P<0.0001) and increased the intracranial objective response rate (ORR) to 40% in the central nervous system (CNS) evaluable population. This paper evaluates the clinical efficacy of adagrasib in KRAS G12C-mutated advanced NSCLC discussing its potential advantages over other inhibitors such as sotorasib. Despite not reaching the 6-month mPFS benchmark, adagrasib offers significant clinical benefits, particularly for the management of CNS metastases. In this pros and cons debate, we argue that adagrasib has broken the KRAS G12C enigma code in NSCLC.

Stem-like exhausted CD8 T cells in pleural effusions predict improved survival in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and mesothelioma. (PubMed, Transl Lung Cancer Res)
Detailed single-cell sequencing and mass cytometry profiling revealed that exhausted T cells from NSCLC expressed greater stem-likeness and less inhibitory markers than those from mesothelioma and that Texstem cells also contained 'bystander' virus-specific T cells. This study demonstrates that PE CD8 Texstem cell abundance is associated with better survival outcomes, and thus may be a useful prognostic biomarker.
