Epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) has become the standard first-line treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with EGFR-sensitive mutations. However, acquired resistance cannot be avoided during the targeted treatment of EGFR-TKI, which may lead to the progression of NSCLC. Among them, approximately 50% of patients present with primary lung lesions and/or initial metastastic lesion progression. As a major local treatment, radiation therapy plays an irreplaceable role in the management of patients with advanced cancer. Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), which is implemented with the Cyberknife, is the most advanced radiation therapy technology to better meet clinical needs. In recent years, based on the abovementioned patterns of tumor recurrence, the treatment mode of pulmonary-lesion SBRT combined with EGFR-TKI can improve the tumor-free survival in advanced NSCLC patients, which has attracted widespread attention. In this article, the clinical research progresses on this combined therapeutic strategy were reviewed.
2.Clinical Research Progress of Radiotherapy Combined with Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors on NSCLC
Cancer Research on Prevention and Treatment 2021;48(10):916-921
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths across the world, of which non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for 85%, and more than 50% of NSCLC patients were diagnosed with distant metastasis. The comprehensive treatment of NSCLC includes surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors. As one of the traditional treatment methods, radiotherapy plays an important role in the treatment of all stages of NSCLC, and its immunomodulatory effect has attracted much attention. The application of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has significantly improved the prognosis of patients with local-advanced and advanced NSCLC, but the benefit population was limited. At present, the treatment mode of radiotherapy combined with ICIs has become the focus of research. This paper reviews the research progress of radiotherapy combined with ICIs in the treatment of NSCLC.

OBJECTI VE To optimize the extraction technology of the leaves of Dimocarpus longan according to flavonoids and phenolic acids. METHODS The contents of gallic acid ,protocatechuic acid ,ethyl gallate ,quercetin,luteolin and kaempferol in the leaves of D. longan were determined by HPLC. Based on single factor test ,with the ethanol volume fraction ,solid-liquid ratio and extraction time as factors ,using comprehensive scores of the contents of above six components as indexes ,the extraction technology of the leaves of D. longan was optimized by Box-Behnken response surface methodology. RESULTS The optimal extraction technology included ethanol volume fraction of 100%,solid-liquid ratio of l ∶ 7(g/mL),extraction time of 90 min, extraction temperature of 80 ℃. After 3 times of validation tests ,the average comprehensive score was 97.54(RSD=0.33%,n= 3),relative error of which with predicted score (99.05)was 1.55%. CONCLUSIONS Box-Behnken response surface methodology combined with multi-index comprehensive score can be used for the extraction technology of the leaves of D. longan ,and the optimized extraction technology is stable and feasible.
