The burden of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in China is substantial, with 85% of the cancers being in the progressive stage. The treatment for advanced ESCC are extremely limited, and immunotherapy, represented by PD-1 inhibitors, has demonstrated a promising application potential. However, the effectiveness of PD-1 inhibitors varies significantly among patients with different types of ESCC, and currently, there is no effective method to predict the response to PD-1 inhibitors. In this study, investigators aim to construct a multimodal deep learning-based model to predict the level of immune infiltration and the efficacy of immunotherapy for ESCC, integrating both pathological image features and clinical information of patients with ESCC, thereby enhancing the level of individualized and precise treatment for ESCC.
This study was a retrospective observational study. The study included patients with non-small cell lung cancer with ALK-fusion brain metastases or meningeal metastases who received first-line and late-line treatment with the third-generation ALK TKI lorlatinib between June 2022 and June 2023. Data were collected from the electronic medical records database and hospital information system of many hospitals in Sichuan Province. Clinical pathology features including gender, age, ALK mutation status at diagnosis, and clinical stage at diagnosis were collected from the medical records. The physical condition assessed by ECOG-PS before the administration of lorlatinib was recorded. Information on anti-tumor therapy was obtained from the records, including dose and time of ALK-TKI therapy and tumor response, number of prior systemic therapy lines, drug regimen, efficacy, and whether local therapy such as radiotherapy and surgery had been received. In this study, the sample size is not limited, and information is collected according to the maximum number of patients. The study period was from 01 July 2023 to 30 June 2024.
Severe and persisting pain and disability due to a degenerative narrowing of the spinal canal, lumbar spinal stenosis, can be operated with a simple surgical decompression. Sometimes, there is also a slippage of vertebra, degenerative spondylolisthesis. In such cases, instrumental stabilization (e.g. screws and rods) has been recommended. Even though additional fusion is more complex and riskier, and evidence in high-quality Scandinavian studies shows that it is unnecessary, decompression plus fusion is still the treatment of choice in the USA and most European countries. This reluctance to change clinical practice is mainly due to concerns about long-term results, especially higher reoperation rates among patients operated with decompression only. This register-based non-inferiority study aims to assess long-term reoperations among those treated with and without additional fusion surgery.
This phase II MATCH treatment trial tests how well ipatasertib works in treating patients with cancer that has certain genetic changes called AKT mutations. Ipatasertib is in a class of medications called protein kinase B (AKT) inhibitors. It may stop the growth of cancer cells and may kill them.
This phase II MATCH treatment trial tests how well copanlisib works in treating patients with cancer that has certain genetic changes. Copanlisib is used in patients whose cancer has a mutated (changed) form of a gene called PTEN. It is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of an abnormal protein that signals cancer cells to multiply. This helps slow or stop the spread of cancer cells.
This phase II MATCH treatment trial tests how well BVD-523FB (ulixertinib) works in treating patients with cancer that has certain genetic changes. BVD-523FB (ulixertinib) is used in patients whose cancer has a mutated (changed) form of a gene called BRAF. It is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of proteins that signal cancer cells to multiply. This helps slow or stop the spread of cancer cells.
Exploring the effects of repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) during the perioperative period on the incidence of postoperative delirium, postoperative cognitive dysfunction, and chronic postoperative pain in elderly patients, as well as its possible mechanisms.
This phase II MATCH treatment trial tests how well MLN0128 (TAK-228) works in treating patients with cancer that has certain genetic changes called TSC1 or TSC2 mutations. MLN0128 (TAK-228) may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
This phase II MATCH treatment trial tests how well larotrectinib (LOXO-101) works in treating patients with cancer that has certain genetic changes. Larotrectinib (LOXO-101) is used in patients whose cancer has a mutated (changed) form of a gene called NTRK. It is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of an abnormal protein that signals cancer cells to multiply. This helps slow or stop the spread of cancer cells.
