Abstract A retrospective observational study carried out in the United States showed a decrease in survival in patients treated for breast, prostate, lung and colorectal cancer with complementary medicines. We verified this result with a
French population of consecutive 636 patients diagnosed with the same cancer and treated with oral chemotherapy in an hospital for three years. An interview by a pharmacist before the administration of oral chemotherapy
was made to identify the complementary medicines used by the patients. We compared the overall survival
using a log-rank test by stratifying the groups (number of cancers, number of comorbidities, age, sex). The… More >

Abstract The incidence and mortality of lung cancer rank top three of all cancers worldwide. Accounting for 85% of the total number of lung cancer, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is an important factor endangering human health. Recently, targeted therapies against driver mutations and epigenetic alterations have made encouraging advances that benefit NSCLC patients. Druggable driver mutations, which mainly occur in EGFR, KRAS, MET, HER2, ALK, ROS1, RET and BRAF, have been identified in more than a quarter of NSCLC patients. A series of highly selective mutant targeting inhibitors, such as EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors and KRAS inhibitors, have been well… More >

Abstract All over the world, the most common malignancy in women is breast cancer. Breast cancer is also a significant factor of death in women. In 2020, approximately 2.3 million cases of breast cancer were newly diagnosed in women globally, and approximately 685,000 people died. Breast cancer incidence varies by region around the world, but it is all increasing. According to the current morbidity and mortality trend of breast cancer, it is estimated that by 2030, the number of incidence and deaths of breast cancer will reach 2.64 million and 1.7 million, respectively. The age-standardized incidence rate was 66.4/100,000 in developed… More >

（This article belongs to this Special Issue: Cancer Immunotherapy)
Abstract The emergence of tumor immunotherapy, especially immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), has brought new life to
cancer treatment, and ICIs can effectively treat various tumors. Among the immune anti-cancer therapies, PD-1 is
undoubtedly the hot target after CTLA-4, but due to the ineffectiveness of PD-1 in treating certain tumors,
researchers have shifted their focus to other combination targets, such as LAG-3, TIM3, IDO-1, etc. One of these
promising targets is LAG-3, a target with multiple clinical trials, which has increasingly shown to be an inhibitory
co-receptor that plays a vital role in autoimmunity, cancer immunity, and anti-infection immunity. Immune combination therapy… More >

（This article belongs to this Special Issue: Ferroptosis in the Occurrence and Treatment of Cancer)
Abstract A cell is the basic unit of life, and death is inevitable for any cell. However, cancer cells that deviate from the normal track can resist death and survive. Ferroptosis is recently discovered as a modulated cell death different from other known forms of cell death in morphology, biochemistry, and genetics. It is characterized by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation regulated by various metabolic pathways. The incidence and mortality of genitourinary system cancer have been increasing recently. Although clinical practice therapy techniques have improved, no plan with a positive prognosis has been identified. For the therapy of cancer, ferroptosis opens up new… More >

Abstract Background: Intracranial lymphoma remains a challenging differential diagnosis in daily neurosurgical practice. We analyzed our early experience with a surgical series of frameless neuronavigated biopsies in Primary
CNS Lymphomas (PCNSLs), highlighting the importance of using an intraoperative combined imaging protocol (5-ALA fluorescence, i-CT and 11C-MET-PET) to overcome potential targeting errors secondary to
tumor volume reduction after corticosteroid therapy. Materials and Methods: All patients treated for PCNLSs
at our center in a 24-month period (1/1/2019 to 31/12/2020) were analyzed. Our cohort included 6 patients
(4 males), with a median age of 67 years (59–82). A total of 45 samples were evaluated… More >
