Risk Factors Analysis of AKI in Patients with Primary Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Treated with PD-1/PD-L1 Inhibitor. (PubMed, Iran J Kidney Dis)
Primary NSCLC patients with extrarenal irAEs, high levels of SCr and CRP, and low levels of eGFR have a higher risk of AKI after PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor treatment. Establishing a predictive model with high accuracy is more conducive to early detection of high-risk patients. DOI: 10.52547/ijkd.7964.

New avenues for the treatment of immunotherapy-resistant pancreatic cancer. (PubMed, World J Gastrointest Oncol)
Thus, techniques such as the use of TME modulators that block receptors and stromal molecules that generate resistance, the use of genetic manipulation in specific regions, such as microRNAs, the modulation of extrinsic and intrinsic factors associated with T cells, and, above all, therapeutic models that combine these modulation techniques constitute the promising future of PC therapy. Thus, this study aims to elucidate the main mechanisms of resistance to immunotherapy in PC and new ways of manipulating this process, resulting in a more efficient therapy for cancer patients and, consequently, a reduction in the lethality of this aggressive cancer.

A three-gene expression score for predicting clinical benefit to anti-PD-1 blockade in advanced renal cell carcinoma. (PubMed, Front Immunol)

If the results of this study are definitively validated in other retrospective and large-scale, prospective studies, the 3GES will represent a valuable tool for guiding the design of ICB-based clinical trials in the aRCC scenario in the near future.

A preliminary study of optimal treatment response rates in patients undergoing hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy combined with molecular targeting and immunotherapy. (PubMed, Front Immunol)
This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of the best response rate (BRR) as a surrogate for overall survival (OS), using the modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (mRECIST), in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) undergoing hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) with fluorouracil, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin (FOLFOX) combined with molecular targeting and immunotherapy. Thus, by calculating the BRR, the prognosis of HCC patients after combination therapy can be predicted. Inferior vena cava tumor thrombus and baseline tumor size were closely associated with the BRR.
