Mashup Score: 7Prognostic and predictive effects of TP53 co-mutation in patients with non-small cell lung cancer with rare treatable driver mutations - 11 day(s) ago
Improved understanding of lung cancer biology and incorporation of next generation sequencing (NGS) has identified subsets of lung cancers, particularly those with mutations in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) which are key in oncogenesis [1,2] The earliest actionable driver mutations identified in NSCLC were within the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR; exon 19 deletions and exon 21 L858R) and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK; fusions) genes, and standard of care treatment for all stages of NSCLC with such mutations now includes targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) such as osimertinib and alectinib [3],respectively.

Mashup Score: 5Real-World outcomes of Non-Small cell lung cancer patients harbouring KRAS G12C and KRAS G12D mutations - 15 day(s) ago
The Kirsten rat sarcoma oncogene homolog (KRAS) is one of the most frequently mutated oncogenes in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), occurring in approximately 30 % of cases [1]. KRAS mutations are heterogeneous, displaying variability in their oncogenic potential, therapeutic implications, and prognostic significance [2]. Among these, the KRAS G12C and KRAS G12D variants are of particular interest, with an estimated prevalence of 15 % and 4 %, respectively, in NSCLC [2,3]. While several targeted therapies have been developed and approved for KRAS G12C, including sotorasib and adagrasib, KRAS G12D −directed agents remain in the early stages of clinical development [4,5].

Mashup Score: 35Facility-Level Disparities in Radiation Use for Limited-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer | JCO Oncology Practice - 16 day(s) ago
PURPOSETreatment of limited-stage small cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC) with twice-a-day radiation therapy (RT) has remained the standard of care for many decades. Growing evidence suggests that outcomes with dose escalated twice-a-day RT may further improve …

Mashup Score: 65
Non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE) is a rare but serious complication of malignant neoplasms, most commonly non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). NBTE can frequently present with neurological symptoms caused by arterial embolisms. These embolisms can significantly impact the short-term prognosis of patients, making early and effective diagnosis and treatment crucial.The molecular characterization of NSCLC has led to the development of targeted therapies, such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), which have significantly improved the prognosis of patients with driver mutations.

Mashup Score: 146The Risk and Reversibility of Osimertinib-related Cardiotoxicity in a Real-World Population - 19 day(s) ago
While osimertinib, a third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, as the first-line therapy for metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has shown significant survival benefits, concerns have arisen regarding its potential cardiotoxicity, particularly in real-world clinical settings. We aimed to investigate the incidence, risk factors, and reversibility of osimertinib-related cardiotoxicity.

Mashup Score: 139Lurbinectedin plus pembrolizumab in relapsed small cell lung cancer (SCLC): the phase I/II LUPER study - 19 day(s) ago
Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) has limited second-line treatment options after chemotherapy. We assessed the efficacy and safety of lurbinectedin combined with pembrolizumab in relapsed SCLC patients who had not received prior immunotherapy, aiming to prevent early progression and achieve sustained responses.

Mashup Score: 70Genomic landscape of clinically acquired resistance alterations in patients treated with KRASG12C inhibitors - 20 day(s) ago
Mutant-selective inhibitors of KRASG12C (KRASG12Ci) have demonstrated efficacy in KRASG12C cancers. However, resistance invariably develops, resulting in short-lived responses. We aimed to define the genomic landscape of acquired resistance to KRASG12Ci and to elucidate whether novel classes of KRAS inhibitors can overcome these resistance mechanisms.

Mashup Score: 41Risk factors for locoregional relapse after segmentectomy: Supplementary analysis of the JCOG0802/WJOG4607L trial - 20 day(s) ago
The JCOG0802/WJOG4607L trial revealed superior overall survival in segmentectomy to lobectomy for small-peripheral non-small-cell lung cancer. However, locoregional relapse (LR) is a major issue for segmentectomy. An ad hoc supplementary analysis aimed to determine the risk factors for LR and the degree of advantages of segmentectomy based on primary tumor sites.
