SWI/SNF Family Mutations in Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: Genetic Characteristics and Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors' Therapeutic Implication

Researchers from Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou, China, have made significant discoveries regarding the genetic characteristics of SWI/SNF family mutations in Chinese non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. The study, published in ESMO Open, found that approximately 15% of Chinese patients with lung cancer harbor mutations in the SWI/SNF

Gene Expression Signatures Predictive of Bevacizumab/Erlotinib Therapeutic Benefit in Advanced Nonsquamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients

Researchers at the Department of Medical Oncology have made significant progress in identifying gene expression signatures associated with angiogenesis and hypoxia pathways that can predict the response to bevacizumab/erlotinib treatment in nonsquamous advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients. The study analyzed biopsy samples from 42 patients and found that
