Objective: To study the value of molecular classification in postoperative adjuvant therapy for endometrial carcinoma (EC). Methods: Patients with stage Ⅰ EC who underwent surgical-pathological staging surgery and molecular classification in Peking University Third Hospital from January 2020 to April 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The influence of different molecular types of EC on postoperative adjuvant therapy were studied. Results: The age of the 196 patients was (55.1±10.2) years old, and the body mess index (BMI) was (26.0±3.9) kg/m2. Molecular classification was performed in 196 stage ⅠEC patients, identifying the 4 subgroups: POLE mutation (POLEmut, n=19, 9.7%), mismatch repair-deficient (dMMR, n=28, 14.3%), no-specific molecular profile (NSMP, n=142, 72.4%) and p53 mutation (p53abn, n=7, 3.6%). Molecular classification was one of the influencing factors on the selection of postoperative adjuvant therapy for EC patients (P=0.003). POLEmut, dMMR and NSMP subtypes were not the variables in selecting radiotherapy or combined chemo-radiotherapy postoperatively. p53abn subtype was not the influencer for radiotherapy, however, it may contribute to the selection of combined chemo-radiotherapy postoperatively (P<0.001). Conclusion: The p53abn subtype in the molecular classification is an influencing factor in the selection of combined chemo-radiotherapy for EC patients postoperatively.

Mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (MET) amplification is an important driver of resistance in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and the combination of MET proto-oncogene (MET) and EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) has shown promise in overcoming this molecularly defined acquired resistance. Emerging data also demonstrate MET amplification as a resistance driver to TKIs-treated anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-, RET-, and ROS1-fusion NSCLC. Here, we review the literature on recent research progress of MET amplification as a resistance driver to targeted therapy in oncogene-driven NSCLC and summarize the progress of clinical strategies to overcome the resistance mechanism.

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a malignant tumor with strong invasiveness and high mortality. It has the characteristics of easy metastasis, fast growth, high degree of malignancy and strong invasiveness. The prognosis of patients is generally poor. The current clinical diagnosis of SCLC is mainly based on tissue biopsy, which is invasive, long cycle time and high cost. In recent years, liquid biopsy has been gradually applied because of its non-invasive, comprehensive and real-time characteristics that traditional tissue biopsy does not have. The main detection objects of liquid biopsy include circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and exosomes in peripheral blood. The application of liquid biopsy in the clinical treatment of SCLC will help clinicians to improve the detailed diagnosis of SCLC patients, as well as the timely control and response to the treatment response of patients.

The follow-up treatment of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation after drug resistance to EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have become a hotspot and difficulty at present. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) therapy is a new and important choice for these patients, but many studies have shown unsatisfactory efficacy. However, some domestic and foreign studies have shown that ICIs combination therapy is still effective in some patients with positive driver genes and drug resistance after targeted therapy. So, in the era of immunotherapy, what are the differences in the efficacy of different combination immunotherapy strategies for different patients? What are the factors that affect efficacy? What are the interrelationships between these factors and other immunotherapy efficacy prediction biomarkers? All these problems have broad and important research value.

Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related morbidity and mortality. Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) have become the standard treatment for EGFR-mutated advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Unfortunately, drug resistance is inevitable in most cases. EGFR-TKI combined with angiogenesis inhibitors is a treatment scheme being explored to delay the therapeutic resistance, which is called "A+T treatment". Several clinical trials have demonstrated that the A+T treatment can improve the progression free survival (PFS) of the NSCLC patients. However, compared to EGFR-TKI monotherapy, the benefits of the A+T treatment based on different EGFR-TKIs, as well as its safety and exploration prospects are still unclear. Therefore, we reviewed the literature related to all three generations EGFR-TKIs combined with angiogenesis inhibitors, and summarized the mechanism, benefit, safety, optimal target population of A+T treatment.

SMARCA4-deficient non-small cell lung cancer (SMARCA4-dNSCLC) is a rare primary lung malignancy. These diseases are not listed separately in the 2021 World Health Organization (WHO) classification of lung neoplasms, but they have special morphological, immunophenotypic and molecular genetic characteristics. This study aims to improve understanding of SMARCA4-dNSCLC by discussing the clinicopathological features, diagonosis and differential diagnosis of the disease.

Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the most common clinical histological subtype of lung cancer and microRNAs (miRNAs) are a type of small non-coding RNAs which play a central role in cells. miR-30b-3p plays a key effect in many types of carcinoma, but there is still very little research on how it works in lung adenocarcinoma. The role and mechanism of miR-30b-3p in the proliferation and invasion of LUAD were explored in this study, to provide new targets for inhibiting the proliferation and invasion of LUAD.

Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) fusions represent the second most common oncogenic driver mutation in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). As the new class of 3rd generation of ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), lorlatinib has shown robust potency and brain-penetrant clinical activity against a wide spectrum of multiple resistance mutations within the ALK domain detected during crizotinib and 2nd generation ALK TKI treatment. Lorlatinib is generally well-tolerated with unique adverse drug reaction/adverse event, including hyperlipidemia and central nervous system effects, which are mostly mild to moderate severity and manageable through dosage modifications and/or standard medical intervention. For advanced NSCLC with ALK positivity, patients should be evaluated for baseline characteristics and pre-existing medication, informed of the potential toxicities, and periodically monitored to balance benefits and risks. Moreover, a multidisciplinary group of experts is essential to establish a comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic strategy.

Bone and soft tissue sarcomas are rare malignancies that present challenges in diagnosis and treatment. With the development of molecular technology, especially the popularization of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology in the field of tumor, the diagnosis of some bone and soft tissue sarcomas have changed due to new evidence, and the treatment strategy has been adjusted accordingly. Molecular technology is expected to be an important tool of diagnosis and treatment strategy in the future. However, it has not been widely used in the fields of sarcoma, there are still many problems. Based on the data of literatures, the basic research, diagnosis, treatment, prognosis and existing problems of molecular analysis in sarcoma are discussed in this article.

B-cell lymphoma is the most common malignant lymphoma, and its incidence is increasing year by year. Some types are often indistinguishable from the reactive lesions through morphology combined with immunohistochemistry, so other auxiliary diagnostic methods are urgently needed. Since B-cell lymphoma is caused by malignant transformation of IGH rearranged B cells, the molecular characteristics of rearranged B cells can be used as an important reference for differentiating benign and malignant proliferations of lymphatic tissues. With the development of molecular biology technology, the detection of clonal rearrangement of IGH plays an important role in the diagnosis, efficacy evaluation and prognosis evaluation of lymphoma. This paper focuses on the molecular characteristics and clinical significance of clonal rearrangement of IGH in B-cell lymphoma.

M protein is often expressed in multiple myeloma and also can be detected in several lymphoma such as Waldenstrm macroglobulinaemia. M protein level can reflect the malignant degree and even genetic abnormality of multiple myeloma and lymphoma to some extent to predict the progress of the diseases, and the therapeutic response and prognosis of the disease can be evaluated by monitoring the M protein level and its change degree. This article reviews the role of M protein in the progression and prognosis of multiple myeloma and lymphoma, and discusses the differences in M protein expression between multiple myeloma and lymphoma, in order to provide new insights for clinical diagnosis, monitoring and evaluation of therapeutic effect.

Objective: To investigate the clinical manifestations and prognosis of multiple myeloma (MM) patients with t(8;14)(q24;q32). Methods: The clinical data of MM patients with G-banding results from 2004 to 2009 in Hematology Department of People's Hospital of Peking University were retrospectively analyzed. The general data, M protein related examination, cytogenetics data, therapeutic regimen and response evaluation of MM patients with t(8;14)(q24;q32) were collected. Results: Of all newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients, the number of patients who had G-banding results was 940, among which 265 had abnormal karyotype in G-banding, accounting for 28.19%. The incidence of t(8;14)(q24;q32) detected by G-banding in MM patients was 0.85%(8/940), t(8;14)(q24;q32) accounted for 3.02%(8/265) of all choromosome abnormalities detected by G-banding. Seven of eight patients were male with a median age of 63.5(56-76) and the immunoglobulin sub-types seven in eight patients were lambda. All eight patients had DS stage Ⅲ at the time of initial diagnosis. FISH detection of these eight patients showed six patients(75%) with 1q21 amplification, and five patients(62.5%) with G-banding results showed abnormal chromosome 1. Among the eight patients, the number of patients reached complete response ,very good response and partial response were separately four, one and two, and the overall response rate(ORR) was 87.5%. After the median follow-up 35 months(23-65months), 2 patients died, and the OS of the dead patients exceeded 5 years. Conclusions: Patients with t(8;14)(q24;q32) accounted for 0.85% of the total who have the results of G banding in our hospital. Of our 8 patients, the light chain sub-type Lambda was more than Kappa, the patients were more common in males, accompanied by 1q21 amplification and chromosome 1 abnormality. The tumor load was high at the time of diagnosis, but the overall response to treatment was fair.
