    Abstract The C-reactive protein-albumin-lymphocyte (CALLY) index has been identified as a useful and sensitive predictive tool for stratification in cancers. This investigation aimed to validate the prognostic ability of CALLY in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Clinical characteristics of 318 patients with ESCC who underwent radical excision were gathered and analyzed retrospectively. A restricted cubic spline (RCS) model was used to determine an ideal threshold of CALLY due to the non-linear relation. To investigate the predictors, Cox hazard regression analysis was used. The recursive partitioning analysis (RPA), a method of risk categorization, was also developed for prognostic prediction. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and decision curve analysis (DCA) curves were used to distinguish from the traditional TNM stage. Patients were compared by groups according to the optimal threshold of CALLY index, which was depicted by the non-linear relation between the cancer-specific survival (CSS) and CALLY index (P < 0.0001). Compared to those with high CALLY index, patients with low CALLY index experienced significantly worse 5-year CSS (21.8% vs. 62.6%, P < 0.001). At different TNM stages, patients with high CALLY index also had better 5-year CSS (I: P = 0.029; II: P < 0.001; III: P < 0.001) in subgroup analyses. The hazard ratio for CSS was 0.368 and CALLY index was an independent predictive factor (P < 0.001). Using TNM stage and CALLY-based RPA algorithms, a new staging was created. The RPA model considerably outperformed the TNM classification for prognostication using ROC (P < 0.001). The DCA also demonstrated that the new model outperformed the TNM stage with significantly improved accuracy for CSS. The prognostic value of CALLY in ESCC undergoing radical resection was initially determined in this study. CALLY was substantially related to prognosis and might be utilized in conjunction with TNM to evaluate ESCC prior to surgery.

    Abstract The lymph node ratio (LNR) is regarded as a prognostic indicator in esophageal cancer (EC), but its applicability to neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy (NICT) in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remains unexplored. This retrospective study, conducted between 2019 and 2021, analyzed ESCC patients who underwent radical esophagectomy following NICT. Patients were divided into two groups based on their LNR values according to the X-tile software: Low-LNR group (LNR 0-10%) and High-LNR group (LNR 10-100%). The association between LNR and clinical outcomes in ESCC after NICT were analyzed. A total of 212 ESCC patients who underwent surgery after NICT were included in this study, among which, 169 (79.7%) and 43 (20.3%) cases were allocated to the Low- and High-LNR groups, respectively. Pathologic complete response (PCR) was observed in 28.3% (60/212) of the overall cohort. Patients in the Low-LNR group demonstrated a significantly improved 3-year overall survival (OS) (81.7% vs 55.3%; P < 0.001) and disease-free survival (DFS) (79.9% vs 37.4%; P < 0.001). These findings were consistent among those with non-PCR (3-year DFS was 73.7% vs 37.4%; P < 0.001, and the 3-year OS was 78.9% vs 55.3%; P < 0.001, respectively). High LNR was associated with a 4.013-fold increased risk of relapse and a 7.026-fold elevated risk of death. Compared to the post-neoadjuvant therapy pathologic lymph nodes staging (ypN), LNR exhibited similar prognostic capabilities for DFS and OS. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to investigate the prognostic value of LNR in ESCC after NICT, suggesting that LNR may serve as a viable alternative to the ypN stage for prognostication in ESCC patients treated with NICT.

    Abstract Background: Dysregulation of fatty acid metabolism (FAM) represents a significant metabolic alteration in tumorigenesis. However, the role of FAM-related genes (FAMRGs) in early-stage lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) remains incompletely understood.
    Methods: A series of bioinformatic analyses and machine learning strategies were performed to construct a FAMRGs-based signature to predict prognosis and guide personalized treatment for early-stage LUSC patients. FAMRGs were screened through the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) database and the Molecular Signature Database (MSigDB). Prognosis FAMRGs were identified using univariate Cox regression, and unsupervised clustering analysis facilitated the division of the cohort into different clusters. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO)-Cox regression and multivariate regression analysis were employed to develop a FAMRGs-based signature for predicting overall survival (OS). A nomogram was subsequently constructed to facilitate risk assessment for individual patients. Comprehensive analyses of metabolic pathways, immune infiltration, immunomodulators, and potentially applicable drugs were conducted across different FAMRGs-related risk groups.
    Results: The FAMRGs-based signature, comprising nine genes (
    Conclusions: The FAMRGs-based signature demonstrated superior sensitivity in predicting the prognosis of early-stage LUSC. Detecting FAMRGs may provide predictive targets for the development of clinical treatment strategies.

    Abstract Background: Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) has shown promise in detecting various cancers, but the diagnostic performance of cfDNA end motifs for multiple cancer types requires verification. This study aimed to assess the utility of cfDNA end motifs for multi-cancer detection.
    Methods: This study included 206 participants: 106 individuals with cancer, representing 20 cancer types, and 100 healthy individuals. The participants were divided into training and testing cohorts. All plasma cfDNA samples were profiled by whole-genome sequencing. A random forest model was constructed using cfDNA 4 bp-end-motif profiles to predict cancer in the training cohort, and its performance was evaluated in the testing cohort. Additionally, a separate random forest model was developed to predict immunotherapy responses.
    Results: In the training cohort, the model based on 4 bp-end-motif profiles achieved an AUC of 0.962 (95% CI 0.936-0.987). The AUC in the testing cohort was 0.983 (95% CI 0.960-1.000). The model also maintained excellent predictive ability in different tumor sub-cohorts, including lung cancer (AUC 0.918, 95% CI 0.862-0.974), gastrointestinal cancer (AUC 0.966, 95% CI 0.938-0.993), and other cancer cohort (AUC 0.859, 95% CI 0.776-0.942). Moreover, the model utilizing 4 bp-end-motif profiles exhibited sensitivity in identifying responders to immunotherapy (AUC 0.784, 95% CI 0.609-0.960).
    Conclusion: The model based on 4 bp-end-motif profiles demonstrates superior sensitivity in multi-cancer detection. Detection of 4 bp-end-motif profiles may serve as potential predictive biomarkers for cancer immunotherapy.

    Abstract Objective: The geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) is a novel nutrition-related indicator designed to predict the risk of clinical outcomes in various cancers. The clinical significance of risk assessment, therapeutic response, and prognostic prediction of GNRI in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) receiving neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy (NICT), a hot point of treatment these days, have not been documented in any research.
    Methods: Two hundred and twenty-four cases with ESCC who underwent radical resection after NICT were retrospectively recruited. Using the calculation formula of GNRI (1.489 × albumin (g/L) + 41.7 × current weight/ideal weight), the cases were split into two cohorts. Analysis was done on the connections between GNRI and clinical outcomes, such as clinical features, postoperative complications, and pathological complete response (pCR). Prognostic factors of overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were also performed.
    Results: Patients were then categorized as low (n = 139) or high (n = 85) group based on the threshold. After radical surgery, 67 patients achieved pCR (29.9%). Higher pCR rates were attained by patients in the high GNRI group (41.2% vs. 23.0%, P = 0.004). Lower GNRI patients experienced a considerably higher severe morbidity (36.7% vs. 23.5%, P = 0.040), particularly in the case of respiratory complications (28.8% vs. 14.1%, P = 0.012). Compared to high GNRI patients, lower GNRI cases had inferior 3-year OS (68.5% vs. 87.3%, P = 0.003) and DFS (64.8% vs. 81.5%, P = 0.002). It was also discovered that GNRI was a significant independent variable of both DFS [hazard ratios (HR) = 0.436, P = 0.009] and OS (HR = 0.294, P = 0.012).
    Conclusion: The GNRI, based on nutrition-related indicators, was independently related to postoperative complications, pCR prediction, and prognostication in ESCC receiving NICT.

    Abstract Cancer immunotherapy is a major breakthrough in the history of tumor therapy in the last decade. Immune checkpoint inhibitors blocking CTLA-4/B7 or PD-1/PD-L1 pathways have greatly prolonged the survival of patients with different cancers. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are abnormally expressed in tumors and play an important role in tumor immunotherapy through immune regulation and immunotherapy resistance. In this review, we summarized the mechanisms of lncRNAs in regulating gene expression and well-studied immune checkpoint pathways. The crucial regulatory function of immune-related lncRNAs in cancer immunotherapy was also described. Further understanding of the underlying mechanisms of these lncRNAs is of great importance to the development of taking lncRNAs as novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets for immunotherapy.

    Abstract Objective: As monotherapy such as topotecan has reached a plateau of effectiveness, new second-line treatments based on experience have been used in clinical application. This study compared the efficacy and safety of different second-line treatments for advanced small-cell lung cancer (SCLC).
    Methods: A total of 380 patients with advanced SCLC were screened selectively in the retrospective study. Adverse events and patient responses were assessed using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v5.0 and Response Evaluation Criteria for Solid Tumors v1.1. The progression-free survival (PFS) was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method or Cox survival regression model and compared using the log-rank test.
    Results: In the platinum-resistant group, disease control rate (DCR) and median PFS (mPFS) were prolonged in the combination group versus single-agent group (DCR: 49.24% vs 24.39%,
    Conclusions: For patients with platinum-resistant SCLC, combination therapy has shown better efficacy and acceptable toxicity profile than monotherapy. Among combination therapies, irinotecan-platinum has shown better efficacy than taxol-platinum. For patients with platinum-sensitive SCLC, the efficacy of different single-agent or combination therapies was similar.
