A case of CD74 ‐ROS1‐positive lung adenocarcinoma diagnosed by next‐generation sequencing achieved long‐term survival with pemetrexed regimens
Patients with advanced NSCLC who achieve long-term survival should be assessed for the presence of a driver mutation via NGS testing. In patients showing good clinical response to PEM regimens, physicians should consider testing for ROS1/ALK rearrangement. AbstractPreviously, cytotoxic drugs were the only option for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and the prognosis was poor. However, molecularly targeted therapies and immune checkpoint inhibitors represent a breakthrough in the treatment of advanced NSCLC and have improved survival rates. In addition, advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) have revea...

Cancers, Vol. 15, Pages 3718: A Subset of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients Treated with Pemetrexed Show 18F-Fluorothymidine & ldquo;Flare & rdquo; on Positron Emission Tomography
Conclusions: The better radiological response and longer survival observed in patients with an 18F-FLT flare suggest the efficacy of the tracer as an indicator of the early therapeutic response to pemetrexed in NSCLC. (Source: Cancers)

Using the neutrophil ‐to‐lymphocyte ratio to predict the outcome of individuals with nonsquamous non‐small cell lung cancer receiving pembrolizumab plus platinum and pemetrexed
ConclusionsThe NLR significantly predicted PFS and OS, whereas BMI predicted OS, in individuals who initially received Pemb-Plt-PEM for non-sq NSCLC. These factors might be prognosis predictors in non-sq NSCLC. (Source: Thoracic Cancer)

First-line tremelimumab plus durvalumab and chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone for metastatic non-small cell lung cancer: a cost-effectiveness analysis in the United States
Conclusion and relevance: In this model, T + D + CT was estimated to be less cost-effective than CT for patients with mNSCLC at a WTP threshold of $ 100,000 to $ 150,000 per QALY in the United States. When new combination therapies with remarkable effect become pivotal in the first-line treatment, the price reduction of durvalumab and tremelimumab may be necessary to achieve cost-effectiveness in future possible context.

Chapter 3: Management of kidney injury caused by cancer drug therapy, from clinical practice guidelines for the management of kidney injury during anticancer drug therapy 2022
AbstractCisplatin should be administered with diuretics and Magnesium supplementation under adequate hydration to avoid renal impairment. Patients should be evaluated for eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate) during the treatment with pemetrexed, as kidney injury has been reported. Pemetrexed should be administered with caution in patients with a CCr (creatinine clearance)  <  45 mL/min. Mesna is used to prevent hemorrhagic cystitis in patients receiving ifosfamide. Febuxostat is effective in avoiding hyperuricemia induced by TLS (tumor lysis syndrome). Preventative rasburicase is recommended in high-risk cas...
