Abstract Measles has re-emerged as a significant public health threat in Indonesia, signaling gaps in immunization coverage and systemic health inequities. Following the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the country has seen a troubling resurgence in cases. This editorial examines the current epidemiological situation, structural barriers to vaccination, and necessary strategies for elimination. In 2025, Indonesia recorded over 63,000 suspected cases, with the trend continuing into 2026. Current vaccination coverage for children aged 12–23 months stands at 73.46%, which is significantly below the 95% threshold required for herd immunity. Key barriers identified include maternal education levels, archipelagic geography, and sociocultural factors such as religious permissibility and safety concerns. Addressing the measles resurgence requires a multi-faceted approach: strengthening routine and catch-up immunization services, addressing social determinants of health, and rebuilding public trust through community engagement. Achieving high coverage is essential to prevent severe clinical complications and protect vulnerable populations.

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare B-cell lymphoma characterized by both the incurable nature of indolent lymphomas and the clinical course of aggressive lymphomas. The integration of high-dose cytosine arabinoside (Ara-C) and autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) has led to substantial improvement in the outcomes of MCL patients in the immunochemotherapy era. More recently, the widespread use of small molecule targeted agents, particularly Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor (BTKi), has re-shaped the therapeutic landscape of MCL patients and challenged the traditional role of high-dose Ara-C and ASCT. Novel immunotherapies including bi-specific antibodies and chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy have emerged as important treatment options for MCL patients with relapsed or refractory disease. With advances in multi-omics profiling, the development of personalized, potentially curative strategies based on individual genetic and immune features is expected to become a major focus of future research on MCL. This article will delve into the latest research progress in the treatment and genetics and translational research on MCL patients, focusing on the latest progress of research on the treatment of newly diagnosed MCL patients, treatment of relapsed/refractory MCL patients, and the genetics and translational treatment of MCL patients, and explore the evolution and future direction of its treatment model.

T cell exhaustion plays an immunosuppressive role in malignant tumors. Continuous tumor antigen stimulation, the presence of suppressive immune cells and cytokines in the tumor microenvironment, the up regulation of inhibitory receptor expression on the surface of T cells, changes in T cell related transcription factors, and metabolites in the tumor microenvironment may lead to T cell exhaustion. Reversing the exhaustion of T cells in tumor patients is a promising strategy for tumor immunotherapy. This article will review the latest research progress on T cell exhaustion status, pathogenesis, reversal methods, and clinical applications in hematological tumors.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the predictive role of the modified Endothelial Activation and Stress Index (mEASIX) in the efficacy of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy and cytokine release syndrome (CRS). METHODS: The clinical data of 70 relapsed and refractory (R/R) B-cell tumor patients who were treated with CAR-T therapy from September 1, 2018 to February 28, 2023 in the Department of Hematology, Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University, were retrospectively analyzed. The value of log-2 mEASIX before conditioning (-7 d) was calculated, and the patients were divided into a low-mEASIX group (42 patients) and a high-mEASIX group (28 patients) based on the cut-off value of 5.443 determined by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Eventually, the predictive role of mEASIX before conditioning on the efficacy of CAR-T cell therapy and CRS was analyzed. RESULTS: The high-mEASIX group exhibited significantly worse median overall survival (OS) and median progression-free survival (PFS) in comparison to the low mEASIX group (OS: 3.2 months vs not reached, P < 0.01; PFS: 1.3 months vs 6.0 months, P =0.009). The incidence of grade ≥2 CRS in the high-mEASIX group was substantially higher than that in the low-mEASIX group (57.1% vs 19.0%, P =0.007). The degree of remission after CAR-T therapy (P =0.001), whether CRS occurs or not (P =0.041), the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level before conditioning (P =0.046), and the mEASIX score before conditioning (P =0.047) were independent influencing factors for the OS of patients receiving CAR-T cell therapy. CONCLUSION The mEASIX score before conditioning can predict OS and the incidence of grade ≥2 CRS in patients with relapsed and refractory B-cell tumors who receive CAR-T cell therapy.

BACKGROUND: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) is an important pathological subtype of NSCLC. The complex immune escape mechanism limits the effectiveness of immunotherapy. Ficolin-3 (FCN3) is a crucial immunomodulatory molecule that regulates immune escape by remodeling the tumor microenvironment. However, the role of FCN3 in LUSC remains unclear. This study employed bioinformatics methods to analyze LUSC samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. The aim of this study was to explore the potential biological functions and prognostic significance of FCN3 in LUSC. METHODS: A pan-cancer analysis characterized the expression patterns and prognostic value of FCN3 across various cancer types. Simultaneously, the expression patterns of FCN3 in LUSC samples from the TCGA database and its relationship with prognosis were analyzed. The Nomogram model and somatic mutation analysis, differential expression analysis, correlation analysis, as well as Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) were constructed to explore the potential mechanisms of FCN3. Additionally, immune infiltration analysis, immune escape score (TIDE), and correlation analysis of immune-related molecules were used to reveal the regulatory role of high FCN3 levels on immunity in LUSC. Furthermore, the correlation between FCN3 expression characteristics and drug sensitivity was evaluated. Finally, in vitro experiments verified the expression characteristics of FCN3 in LUSC. RESULTS: The expression level of FCN3 in LUSC tissues was significantly lower than that in normal tissues. Patients with high FCN3 expression in LUSC had a poorer prognosis compared to those with low expression. Different expression levels of FCN3 were associated with the abundance of immune cell infiltration and immune cell dysfunction. It was also linked to the expression of immune checkpoints, immune stimulatory molecules, major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class molecules, and chemotherapy drug sensitivity. CONCLUSIONS High expression of FCN3 in LUSC is associated with poor prognosis and is linked to immune cell infiltration, immune-related pathways, and immune-related molecules. FCN3 may be a potential prognostic marker and a new target for immunotherapy in LUSC.

Pulmonary large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) is a high-grade neuroendocrine tumor with unique characteristics, and its treatment regimens are primarily derived from those for small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In recent years, the incidence rate has been on the rise, and the prognosis are affected by the interaction of multiple factors such as individual, clinical stage and treatment mode, and the heterogeneity is significant. In the study of molecular subtypes, multiple subgroups were divided according to key gene mutations such as RB1 and TP53, and genomic subtypes were associated with survival, chemotherapy response, and efficacy of precision therapy. Targeted therapy excavates multiple targets, and the efficacy of drugs is different. Immunotherapy has made remarkable progress, and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have been effective in all stages of chemotherapy alone or in combination with chemotherapy or radiation therapy, but there is a risk of hyperprogressive diseases, and accurate prognostic markers need to be explored urgently. This review reviews the latest research progress in the study of molecular subtypes and precision therapies such as targeted therapy and immunotherapy of pulmonary LCNEC, and points out that pulmonary LCNEC treatment will develop in the direction of precision and individualization in the future.

Despite the groundbreaking advances in cancer immunotherapy achieved by immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), their efficacy remains limited by the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). Yes-associated protein (YAP) and transcriptional coactivator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ), key effectors of the Hippo signaling pathway, play pivotal roles in tumor immune evasion. They directly regulate the expression of immune checkpoints, mediate the formation of an immunosuppressive microenvironment, inhibit T cell function, and interact with other signaling pathways to promote immune escape. Diverse strategies targeting YAP/TAZ have been developed, including direct inhibition, modulation of upstream regulators, and suppression of downstream target genes. Preclinical studies have demonstrated that combining YAP/TAZ inhibition with ICIs significantly enhances therapeutic efficacy across various tumor models. This review summarizes recent advances in understanding the role of YAP/TAZ in immune evasion within the TME and explores the potential of targeting this pathway to improve immunotherapy outcomes. Furthermore, it discusses the translational value of combination therapies based on YAP/TAZ inhibition, providing a theoretical framework and practical guidance for the development of innovative immunotherapeutic strategies and precision medicine approaches.

In epidemiological statistics, the incidence rate and mortality rate of malignant lung tumors rank among the top. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) constitutes an important part of lung cancer and has become a key focus of clinical research and treatment. Among the genomic characteristics of NSCLC, the Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) mutation is one of the main tumor drivers, accounting for approximately 25% of all NSCLC cases. The existence of this mutation is closely related to the treatment response and prognosis of patients. Therefore, the treatment strategy for KRAS-mutated NSCLC is an important topic in the field of tumor research. In the current era, immunomodulatory therapy has rapidly gained popularity and developed rapidly in oncology due to its unique mechanism of action and remarkable clinical efficacy. The treatment strategies targeting the KRAS-mutated of NSCLC have gradually become a research hotspot. The advent of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has opened up a new therapeutic avenue for patients with such cancers, and clinical studies have shown significant effects in improving survival rates. Nevertheless, there are still many challenges in the application of immunotherapy, such as the complexity of the tumor microenvironment, individual differences among patients, and drug resistance mechanisms. This article reviews the progress of immunotherapy for KRAS-mutated NSCLC, focusing on the specific application of immunotherapy, the exploration of combination therapies, and the results of related clinical trials. At the same time, it discusses the possible future development directions of KRAS-mutated NSCLC treatment, providing a reference for clinical treatment practice.

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is the thoracic malignant tumor and accounts for about 15% of lung malignancies and transfer often occurs by the time of diagnosis. Extensive stage-small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) accounts for about 2/3 of all SCLC. For many years, radiotherapy has occupied an important position in the treatment of SCLC, especially in the treatment of ES-SCLC, because SCLC is more sensitive to radiotherapy. However, in recent years, immune checkpoint inhibitor has shown more excellent antitumor activity in the treatment of ES-SCLC and become the mainstream argument for the treatment of ES-SCLC. However, will radiotherapy be buried by the times among the therapeutic approaches for ES-SCLC? In this article, we will review the clinical progress of radiotherapy, immunotherapy and combination therapy for ES-SCLC.
