Determinants of Early Renal Function Recovery After TIPS in Patients With Portal Hypertension

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Renal dysfunction frequently occurs in patients with portal hypertension and is linked to unfavorable clinical outcomes. Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) has the potential to enhance renal perfusion through portal decompression; however, factors predicting early improvement in renal function remain insufficiently defined ...

Data‐Independent Acquisition Mass Spectrometry in Tumor Classification and Cancer Biomarker Research

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
Abstract Cancer treatment is far from optimal also because current classification systems do not reflect the complex molecular status of the tumor and its phenotype in sufficient detail. To construct molecular tumor classifiers, omics tools provide complex molecular data reflecting many aspects from genotype to phenotype.

Clinical Outcomes of the POPCORN Study: Pharmacodynamics of Pre‐Operative PD1 CheckpOint Blockade and Receptor Activator of NF‐κB Ligand (RANKL) Inhibition in Non‐Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)—A Phase 1B/2 Trial

Asia-Pacific Journal of Clinical Oncology, EarlyView.
Expanding on the growing evidence for neoadjuvant immunotherapy in resectable non‐small cell lung cancer, this study explored neoadjuvant nivolumab ± denosumab. Two of the 10 treated patients achieved a pathological complete response. CD8 T‐cell infiltration correlated with pathological response, warranting ongoing translational research to understand ...
