The effect of gefitinib in patients with postoperative recurrent non-small cell lung cancer harboring mutations of the epidermal growth factor receptor
It is unclear whether there is a difference in the effect of gefitinib treatment between patients with postoperative recurrent non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and those with stage IV NSCLC harboring mutatio...

Response to the treatment immediately before nivolumab monotherapy may predict clinical response to nivolumab in patients with non-small cell lung cancer
Currently, no markers predictive of response to nivolumab monotherapy in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are currently recognized in Japan. The present study was undertaken to identif...

Survival data for postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy comprising cisplatin plus vinorelbine after complete resection of non-small cell lung cancer
Despite the efficacy of postoperative adjuvant cisplatin (CDDP)-based chemotherapy for patients who have undergone surgical resection of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), few reports have presented survival ...

Changes in programmed death ligand 1 expression in non-small cell lung cancer patients who received anticancer treatments
The expression of programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) is considered a predictive biomarker of anti-programmed death 1 (PD-1)/PD-L1 cancer therapies. However, changes in PD-L1 expression of tumor cells during cli...

Leptomeningeal recurrence after long-term alectinib therapy for non-small cell lung cancer harboring an EML4-ALK fusion protein
The recent approval of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) inhibitors for the treatment of ALK-rearranged non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has dramatically transformed cancer therapy. However, leptomeningeal metas...

Open AccessNegative impact of malignant effusion on osimertinib treatment for non-small cell lung cancer harboring EGFR mutation
3rd-generation epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs), including osimertinib, have reasonable efficacy in non–small-cell lung cancers (NSCLC) with EGFR mutations. However, the eff...

Evaluation of gefitinib systemic exposure in EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer patients with gefitinib-induced severe hepatotoxicity
Severe hepatotoxicity induced by the standard dose of gefitinib (250 mg daily) often becomes manageable by dose reduction to 250 mg every other day. Thus, we hypothesized that systemic exposure of standard-dos...

Open AccessClinical and radiation dose-volume factors related to pneumonitis after treatment with radiation and durvalumab in locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer
Introduction Durvalumab has been shown to confer a survival benefit after definitive chemoradiotherapy in the patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer, but no studies have attempted to identify r...

Retrospective analysis of osimertinib re-challenge after osimertinib-induced interstitial lung disease in patients with EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung carcinoma
Osimertinib is a third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that has exhibited efficacy in patients with EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Interstiti...

Detection of programmed cell death-ligand 1 using 22C3 antibody in patients with unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer receiving chemoradiotherapy
The expression of programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) is a biomarker for administering immune check point inhibitors in patients with advanced stage non-small cell lung cancer. Although the consolidation th...

Correction to: Clinical and radiation dose-volume factors related to pneumonitis after treatment with radiation and durvalumab in locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer
Corrections are needed to the original version of this article. In Table 2, the “Odds ratio” of the variables “Lower lobe vs. Upper lobe” and “≥26 vs. <26” should be 2.250 instead of 2250 and 2.250 instead of ...

Clinical impact of walking capacity on the risk of disability and hospitalizations among elderly patients with advanced lung cancer
Little is known about the impact of decreased walking capacity on clinical outcomes in elderly patients with cancer. This prospective observational study aimed to investigate the impact of walking capacity on ...

Rechallenge with previously administered epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors in EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer with leptomeningeal metastasis
Objectives In EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, approximately 80–90% of leptomeningeal metastasis (LM) develops after failed initial treatment with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) ...

Open AccessComparison of clinical features between immune-related sclerosing cholangitis and hepatitis
Background Immune-related hepatotoxicity is often regarded as immune-related hepatitis (irHepatitis) despite including immune-related sclerosing cholangitis (irSC). This study examined the clinical differences be...

Phase I study of weekly nab-paclitaxel plus carboplatin and concurrent thoracic radiotherapy in elderly patients with unresectable locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer
Few clinical studies have been designed for elderly patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We conducted a phase I study to evaluate the tolerability of carboplatin/nab-paclitaxel an...
