Journal of International Oncology 2013;40(8):621-624
Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and has aggressive biological behavior.Due to absence of typical clinical presentation,heterogeneity of pathological morphology and multiple neuroimaging appearance and so on,the immunohistochemistry and molecular biology are of vital importance in accurate diagnosis of PCNSL.The development of regimen based on high-dose MTX leads to significant changes in the PCNSL treatment and it has become a generally recognized regimen.Compared with single radiotherapy,the survival rate has evidently been raised.Early diagnosis and surgical removal of the tumors combined with effective radiotherapy and chemotherapy are the key to extending survival period and improving living quality of patients with PCNSL.
2.Reversal for acquired resistance to EGFR inhibitors in lung cancer
Journal of International Oncology 2013;40(11):843-846
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors targeted therapy is the forward position means for non-small cell lung cancer.However,acquired resistance to EGFR inhibitors limits the development of targeted drugs.Using existing data on drug resistance in EGFR-mutant lung cancer,this review discusses three basic approaches for overcoming resistance to EGFR-targeted therapies:intensification of EGFR inhibition,combination of EGFR inhibitors with other targeted therapies,and altering clinical management via alternate pathways.

EGFR-TKI plays an important role in the treatment of non-small-cell lung cancer. However, some researchers find that there are still some patients with primary or acquired resistance to EGFR-TKI. The present known mechanisms of acquired drug resistance finally lead to the re-activation EGFR downstream signa-ling pathways. Liver X receptor agonist has inhibition function to several critical steps of EGFR downstream sig-naling pathways PI3K-Akt-NF-κB,which makes it possible to overcome the drug resistance.

Epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) is one of the most important targeted drugs for lung cancer patients carrying EGFR sensitive mutations.However,almost all patients that are effective to this treatment will eventually develop secondary resistance to EGFR-TKI.The most accepted mechanisms of resistance mainly include T790M mutation,MET amplification,PIK3CA mutation,down-regulation of PTEN expression and activation of Fas-transcription factor-κB.Recent years,many new drugs are developed to overcome this resistance.Although most of drugs are in the stages of cell or animal experiment,some new drugs get positive clinical results.
