The Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology (CSCO) issued the new version of the guidelines on diagnosis and treatment of NSCLC in April 2023.The new version updated the diagnostic and therapeutic strategy of rare oncogenic mutations, including ROS1 fusion, BRAF V600E mutation, NTRK fusion, MET exon 14 skipping mutation, RET fusion, and EGFR exon 20 insertion mutation, in NSCLC.This review will interpret the most important updates in the guidelines 2023 regarding the diagnosis as well as first-line and post-line therapies of these rare oncogenic mutations.

Cancer cell membrane (CCM) derived nanotechnology functionalizes nanoparticles (NPs) to recognize homologous cells, exhibiting translational potential in accurate tumor therapy. However, these nanoplatforms are majorly generated from fixed cell lines and are typically evaluated in cell line-derived subcutaneous-xenografts (CDX), ignoring the tumor heterogeneity and differentiation from inter- and intra- individuals and microenvironments between heterotopic- and orthotopic-tumors, limiting the therapeutic efficiency of such nanoplatforms. Herein, various biomimetic nanoplatforms (CCM-modified gold@Carbon, i.e., Au@C-CCM) were fabricated by coating CCMs of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) cell lines and patient-derived cells on the surface of Au@C NP. The generated Au@C-CCMs were evaluated on corresponding CDX, tongue orthotopic xenograft (TOX), immune-competent primary and distant tumor models, and patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models. The Au@C-CCM generates a photothermal conversion efficiency up to 44.2% for primary HNSCC therapy and induced immunotherapy to inhibit metastasis via photothermal therapy-induced immunogenic cell death. The homologous CCM endowed the nanoplatforms with optimal targeting properties for the highest therapeutic efficiency, far above those with mismatched CCMs, resulting in distinct tumor ablation and tumor growth inhibition in all four models. This work reinforces the feasibility of biomimetic NPs combining modular designed CMs and functional cores for customized treatment of HNSCC, can be further extended to other malignant tumors therapy.

Patients with operable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) receiving neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy have a very limited improvement in 5-year survival rate. Epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKI) have made a breakthrough in the treatment of EGFR-mutant advanced NSCLC, which shed light for the exploration of perioperative targeted therapy in NSCLC patients. Significant progress has been made in the research of targeted therapy of the first and third generation EGFR-TKI in perioperative patients. The availability of novel potent and less toxic targeted therapy has brought new treatments for the operable NSCLC. This article reviews the progress and existing problems of adjuvant and neoadjuvant targeted therapy in NSCLC harboring EGFR mutation.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a malignant tumor with rapid progress and high malignancy, accounting for 85% of all lung cancers. Treatment has shifted from traditional surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy to targeted therapy. Targeted therapy can prolong the survival of patients with positive driver gene fusion. With the continuous progress of biological research, targets related to NSCLC have gradually been discovered. Among the many driving genes of NSCLC, RET fusion is an important emerging target discovered in recent years. It has been confirmed to have a high incidence in non-smoking, young and low-differentiated NSCLC patients. This article reviews RET gene fusion in NSCLC, the relationship between the two and the treatment progress.

Hyperprogressive disease (HPD) is a novel pattern of progression caused by immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). It is characterized by a dramatic tumor surge and is associated with poor clinical outcomes. Up to now, the definition of HPD is still controversial across various studies. Although it has been indicated that HPD has related to multiple clinicopathological features and genetic alterations, it is lack of biomarker to predict its occurrence, and the potential mechanism remains unknown. This review is to summarize current data on HPD specialized in the field of non-small cell lung cancer. And we expect to provide helpful clinical strategies for oncologists using ICIs.

Objective:To summarize the clinical characteristics and surgical treatment experience of pregnant women with acute Stanford type A aortic dissection.Methods:From January 2005 to December 2018, a total of 12 patients with acute Stanford type A aortic dissection were treated in Zhongshan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University. Two patients died of sudden aortic dissection rupture during emergency CTA examination. The other 10 patients underwent surgical treatment, the age was 22-40 years[mean(30.7±5.8) years], the pregnancy was 15-39 weeks[mean(28.8±6.5) weeks], two cases in the second trimester of pregnancy, seven cases in the third trimester of pregnancy and one case in puerperium. Among them, seven cases were Marfan syndrome, one case was bicuspid aortic valve malformation, two cases were complicated with pregnancy hypertension.Results:One case died during perioperative period and died of rupture of abdominal aortic dissection in twelfth day after operation. One fetus was diagnosed as stillborn before operation. Before December 2013, six patients underwent surgeries, the mean cardiopulmonary bypass time was(96.8±16.5)min, aortic occlusion time was(70.8±19.3)min, intensive care unit time was(3.4±2.3) days, ventilator-assisted mechanical ventilation time was(21.6±15.6)h. After January 2014, four patients underwent surgeries, the mean cardiopulmonary bypass time was(202.3±6.4)min, the aortic cross-blocking time was(137.5±10.3)min, circulatory arrest time was(27.3±8.8)min, intensive care unit time was(12.0±5.7) days, and the ventilator-assisted mechanical ventilation time was(40.3±24.4)h. The postoperative complications included tracheotomy in two cases, hemodialysis in one case, poor wound healing in one case. One patient who had been treated with Bentall was followed up to sixth year and died of progressive rupture of descending arch dissection. One patient was followed up to seventh year after Bentall surgery, redo Bentall and Sun’s procedure were performed because of artificial valve infection, and was discharged uneventful. No adverse cardiovascular events occurred in other patients.Conclusion:Surgical treatment should be actively considered in pregnancy complicated with acute Stanford type A aortic dissection. Multi-disciplinary team cooperation can effectively improve the safety and effect of operation.

KRAS mutation is one of the most frequent driver gene mutations found in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). KRAS-mutant NSCLC is highly heterogeneous. Various mutation types and different co-mutational signatures affect tumor biological behavior and therapeutic responses. NSCLC patients with KRAS mutations could relatively benefit from immunotherapy, while the effects of KRAS mutations on chemotherapy are still controversial. The treatment methods of KRAS-mutant lung cancer have followed the therapy of NSCLC without driver gene mutation for a long time. With the introduction of novel KRAS G12C inhibitors in the clinic, the therapeutic landscape has begun to change and has made the preliminary advance, and the combined therapies resulted in encouraging signals of efficacy both in preclinical and early phase trials. This paper reviews the biological and clinical characteristics as well as the latest treatment progress of KRAS-mutant NSCLC.
