Novel multiplex immunofluorescence-based tumor inflammation score provides apparent predictive biomarker in a phase I/II study of pembrolizumab with gemcitabine in patients with previously-treated advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). (PubMed, Oncoimmunology)
Additionally, while prior studies documented that IgG Ab responses to TAA can identify targets of a coordinated T and B cell response and evidence of immune surveillance, this study found that high autoantibody responses, while not statistically significant, trended toward a worse outcome (p = 0.06). This suggests to us that tumors may have developed mechanisms to escape the immune response to these TAAs.

Clinicopathological, Genomic Characteristics and Prognostic Analysis in 18 Cases of SMARCA4-deficient or SMARCA4-mutated Pulmonary Tumors (PubMed, Zhongguo Fei Ai Za Zhi)
SMARCA4 gene mutations are not entirely consistent with IHC protein loss, necessitating combined interpretation. When SMARCA4 alterations co-exist with EGFR mutations, targeted monotherapy efficacy may be limited, and combination strategies should be considered. Classifying SMARCA4 alterations into Class 1 and Class 2 may have prognostic implications and could help predict the tumor immune microenvironment status (TMB and PD-L1). ICIs combined with chemotherapy is currently one of the main treatment options for patients with advanced SMARCA4-altered pulmonary tumors and showed potential efficacy in this study.

MicroRNA-Directed Biomarkers and Breast Cancer Therapeutics-Potential to Advance Personalised Approaches in Clinical Trials. (PubMed, Int J Mol Sci)
Their detectability in tissue, blood and other biofluids offers a minimally invasive means to dynamically monitor cancer behaviour and response, supporting more precise therapeutic decision-making. This review synthesises the current evidence for miRNA-based biomarkers across oestrogen-receptor positive, HER2-positive and triple-negative breast cancer and outlines their potential integration into biomarker-driven clinical trial designs and personalised treatment strategies.

Refining Prognostic Stratification in Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma: Genomic, Tissue-Based, Circulating Biomarkers and Integrated Models. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
Future progress will likely depend on integrative models combining genomic, tissue-based, immune, and circulating parameters with established clinical variables. Prospective validation and clear demonstration of incremental clinical utility will be essential before such strategies can meaningfully inform therapeutic decision-making.

PD-L1-Guided Chemo-Immunotherapy in Advanced Triple-Negative Breast Cancer: A Meta-Analysis of Survival Benefits and Toxicity Profiles. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
Chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy significantly improved PFS and OS in patients with locally recurrent unresectable or metastatic TNBC, without substantially increasing chemotherapy-related toxicities. However, the OS benefit in PD-L1-positive patients was not statistically significant, and the combined regimen was associated with higher rates of serious and immune-related adverse events. These findings support the use of Chemo-IO as a treatment option, highlighting the importance of PD-L1 status and careful monitoring of immune-mediated toxicities in clinical practice.

Targeting Autophagy to Overcome Chemoresistance and Immune Resistance in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
Targeting autophagy has shown considerable potential for effectively addressing chemoresistance in TNBC. Future studies should focus on addressing chemoresistance and immunoresistance through autophagy-based therapies.

Research on the Hippo Pathway in Cancer. (PubMed, Cells)
This article provides a systematic review of the composition and regulation of the Hippo, its mechanisms of action in the biological behavior of tumor cells and interactions within the tumor microenvironment, as well as progress in the development of drugs targeting this pathway. It offers a theoretical basis for a deeper understanding of the role of the Hippo in tumors and for the development of novel anti-tumor therapeutic strategies.

Early FMISO PET changes as exploratory predictors of immune checkpoint inhibitor response in advanced lung cancer: a pilot study. (PubMed, Sci Rep)
Seventeen patients with advanced NSCLC who received nivolumab plus ipilimumab (Nivo-Ipi) were enrolled. FMISO PET may serve as an exploratory tool for assessing early treatment response to ICIs in patients with advanced NSCLC. However, further studies are required to validate these findings.
