aque in rabbits. Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 regulates the serum levels of lipid and cholesterol may via inflammatory pathways. The results also indicate that evolocumab is more potent than atorvastatin in suppressing the progression and stability of atherosclerotic plaque in rabbits. For lung cancer (LC) patients with limited brain metastases (LBM), radiosurgery (RS) was the current preferred strategy. We aimed to report our experience regarding an alternative strategy (focal conformal fractionated radiotherapy, FCFRT) for these patients in this cohort study. We identified LC patients with LBM treated with either FCFRT or RS within 2016-2019 without prior brain local treatment via in-house databases. The characteristics of patients, disease, treatment, and outcome were retrospectively obtained via chart review and peer review. The 1st day of FCFRT or RS was the index date. Overall survival (OS) was calculated from the index date to the last date of contact or death via the Kaplan-Meier method. Log-rank test was used in univariate analyses (UVA) whereas Cox regression method was used in the multivariate analyses (MVA). The incidence of local progression (LP) or distal brain metastases (DBM) was estimated by the competing risk approach with death as the competing risk. We identified 23 eligible patients. The median dose/fractionation for FCFRT was 36 Gy/10 fractions. The median dose for RS was 20 Gy. The Lung-molGPA prognostic groups' distribution for these two groups was not statistically different. After a median follow-up of 8 months (range, 1-38 months), the OS was not statistically different in UVA [P value 0.9]. MRTX849 in vivo The adjusted hazard ratio of death was 0.96 when FCFRT was compared to RS in MVA (95% CI, 0.21-5.22). There was also no statistical significant difference in LP (P value 0.79) or DBM (P value 0.88). For LC patients with LBM, the OS was not statistically different for definitive FCFRT or RS. There was also no statistical difference in LP or DBM. Further studies should be considered to clarify the indication of FCFRT.

Further studies should be considered to clarify the indication of FCFRT. The overall objective response rate (ORR) of published clinical trials in advanced gastroesophageal cancer patients who received anti-program-death-1 (anti-PD-1) or program-death-legend-1 (anti-PD-L1) therapy was only 10%. This ratio is far away from satisfying. It is necessary to identify patients who are more likely to benefit from the treatment. This study aimed to identify the factors with which the patients would have a higher response rate to anti-PD-1/anti-PD-L1 therapy. The study was carried out according to the Cochrane handbook for systemic reviews of intervention. The comparisons were conducted according to the patients' characteristics to distinguish the factors with which the patients would have a higher response rate and better survival from the therapy. One thousand and nine hundred ninety-eight patients with advanced gastroesophageal cancer receiving anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L-1 therapy were enrolled totally. Both the anti-PD-1 and anti-PD-L-1 therapy were significantly more efficacy in patients with high expression of PD-L1. Adenocarcinoma patients with high microsatellite instability (MSI-H) were more likely to benefit from anti-PD-1 therapy. Patients with a better Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status had a significantly higher ORR and disease control rate (DCR). The treatment also had a better performance in improving the overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with high expression of PD-L1. The expression level of PD-L1, MSI, and ECOG performance status could be the predictors of achievi
