Drug Resistance Mechanism and Therapeutic Strategy of Targeted Therapy of 
Non-small Cell Lung Cancer with MET Alterations
Mesenchymal to epithelial transition factor (MET) gene alterations involve in the proliferation, invasion, and metastasis of non-small cell lung cancer. MET-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have been approved to treat non-small cell lung cancer with MET alterations, and resistance to these TKIs is inevitable. Molecular mechanisms of resistance to MET-TKIs are completely unclear. The review focused on potential mechanisms of MET-TKIs resistance and therapeutics strategies to delay and prevent resistance.

Impacts of LncRNA NORAD on the Proliferation, Apoptosis, and Chemosensitivity of Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Cells by Regulating ZNF217 through MiR-199a-3p
Background and objective The treatment and diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is still a difficult problem in the medical community, and exploring the molecular mechanism of the occurrence and development of NSCLC is a hot topic of the current research. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) NORAD is highly expressed in a variety of cancer cells. It may be a molecular target that promotes NSCLC. The aim of this study was to investigate the impacts of lncRNA NORAD on the proliferation, apoptosis, and chemosensitivity of NSCLC by regulating zinc finger protein 217 (ZNF217) through miR-199a-3p. Methods Real-time quantitati...

Progress in Image-planned and Real-time Image-guided Lung Cancer Biopsy 
in the Detection of Biomarkers
With the progress of targeted therapy and immunotherapy for lung cancer, the clinical demand for lung biopsy is increasing. An ideal biopsy specimen can be used not only for histopathological diagnosis, but also for biomarker detection. The ideal biopsy specimen should meet two requirements, including more than 60 mm2 of tumor tissue and containing more than 20% of tumor cells. In order to obtain ideal lung cancer biopsy specimens, advanced imaging techniques are needed to help. In this article, we reviewed the requirements for biopsy specimens based on biomarker detection, as well as the current status and research progre...

Recent Advances and Controversies in Minute Pulmonary Meningothelial-like Nodules
Minute pulmonary meningothelial-like nodules (MPMNs) are benign small lesions in the lungs, with similar pathological characteristics to the meningeal epithelium. MPMNs have similar imaging manifestations to malignant tumors, which can lead to misdiagnosis in clinical practice. There is no consensus on the pathogenesis of MPMNs, with some suggest that MPMNs derive from reactive proliferation, while others suggest that MPMNs share a common origin and molecular mechanism with meningiomas in the central nervous system. Understanding the characteristics of MPMNs and studying their pathogenesis will help improve the understandi...

Peripheral Blood Laboratory Test Results Combined with TCF1+CD8+ T Lymphocytes 
Ratio to Predict the Response and Prognosis of Immunotherapy to 
Advanced Lung Cancer
This study aimed to investigate the correlation of peripheral blood laboratory test results combined with lymphocyte subset ratios to the response and prognosis of immunotherapy in advanced lung cancer. Methods Advanced lung cancer patients admitted to West China Hospital, Sichuan University from May 2021 to July 2023 were prospectively enrolled in this study. Clinical data and peripheral blood were collected before and after treatment and lymphocyte subset ratios were analyzed by flow cytometry. Logistic regression was used to identify factors correlated to ICIs treatment efficacy. Cox modeling was applied to explore the ...
