Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a highly malignant tumor with a very poor prognosis; therefore, more effective treatments are urgently needed for patients afflicted with the disease. In recent years, emerging molecular classifications based on key transcription factors of SCLC have provided more information on the tumor pathophysiology, metastasis, immune microenvironment, and acquired therapeutic resistance and reflected the intertumoral heterogeneity of the various SCLC phenotypes. Additionally, advances in genomics and single-cell sequencing analysis have further revealed the high intratumoral heterogeneity and plasticity of the disease. Herein, we review and summarize these recent lines of evidence and discuss the possible pathogenesis of SCLC.
4.Regulation of fatty acid synthase on tumor and progress in the development of related therapies
Chinese Medical Journal 2024;137(16):1894-1902
Fatty acid synthase (FASN) is an essential molecule in lipid metabolic pathways, which are crucial for cancer-related studies. Recent studies have focused on a comprehensive understanding of the novel and important regulatory effects of FASN on malignant biological behavior and immune-cell infiltration, which are closely related to tumor occurrence and development, immune escape, and immune response. FASN-targeting antitumor treatment strategies are being developed. Therefore, in this review, we focused on the effects of FASN on tumor and immune-cell infiltration and reviewed the progress of related antitumor therapy development.

Epidermal growth factor receptor ( EGFR ) mutations are common oncogenic driver mutations in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The application of EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) is beneficial for patients with advanced and early-stage NSCLC. With the development of next-generation sequencing technology, numerous patients have been found to have more than one genetic mutation in addition to a single EGFR mutation; however, the efficacy of conventional EGFR-TKIs and the optimal treatments for such patients remain largely unknown. Thus, we review the incidence, prognosis, and current treatment regimens of EGFR compound mutations and EGFR concomitant mutations to provide treatment recommendations and guidance for patients with these mutations.

In order to give full play to the important role of multi-disciplinary treatment (MDT) in oncology teaching in talent training and discipline development, an oncology teaching and research section has been established, the textbook Clinical Oncology has been compiled, excellent teaching workers in affiliated hospitals have been selected to form an MDT teaching team, and a multi-tutorial system has been established for the discipline related to specific tumor types. The multi-tutorial system of disciplines combines lecture-based learning (LBL) with case-based learning (CBL) and problem-based learning (PBL). Students are arranged to observe and participate in clinical MDT consultation during the inter-class practice, and compared with the traditional assessment form, MDT case discussion questions, review writing, classroom simulation of the MDT process and real participation in clinical MDT discussions are added. The questionnaire for students who participated in MDT teaching showed that more than 93% of the students believed that the MDT teaching model was helpful for systematically mastering the knowledge of the chapters they had learned and understanding the cutting-edge progress, improving learning initiative, thinking and problem-solving ability, clinical comprehensive analysis ability and teamwork spirit. The majority of students' expression skills [89%(169/190)] and literature review skills [79%(150/190)] were improved; 94%(178/190) of students expressed their willingness to accept this teaching method. The teaching practice experience of the Department of Oncology of Jilin University based on the MDT model helps to improve the teaching level of oncology.

Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) has become one of the important therapeutic strategies for the patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The latest clinical studies have shown that immunotherapy can bring more survival benefits to patients with early lung cancer and operable patients with locally advanced lung cancer. However, the strategies of neoadjuvant immunotherapy, the timing of operation, the evaluation system of curative effect, predictive markers and other problems still need to be explored in the clinical practice of large samples. This paper reviews the progress of neoadjuvant immunotherapy in NSCLC.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) therapy is the most commonly used immunotherapy regimen at present. It has been approved for clinical treatment of melanoma, kidney cancer, head and neck cancer, bladder cancer and other tumors. It has made a breakthrough in the treatment of lung cancer and become a new pillar of comprehensive treatment of lung cancer. However, ICIs alone is less effective in non-selective patients, and combination therapy has become a hot topic of exploration. This article focuses on the development of combined immune checkpoint inhibitors and describes how immunotherapy can be used to treat early stage cancer.

Precision detection techniques have promoted the development of individualized diagnosis and treatment of tumors in the era of precision medicine. At the same time, clinical demands of precision treatments have further driven the development and application of precision detection techniques. In recent years, precision medical detection techniques realized rapid transformations from low-throughput to high-throughput genomic sequencing, from tissue biopsies to liquid biopsies, and from multicell promiscuous detection to single cell precision sequencing. All these changes have promoted the emergence and development of new technologies, new targets, and new drugs in the era of precision oncology medicine. In the future, multi-dimensional combined detection could help to improve the accuracy of precision medicine; ctDNA methylation detection analysis could broaden the research field of precision medicine; and the transformation of clinical trial design could also contribute to promote the in-depth development of precision medicine.
