Immunotherapy, particularly ICIs, has emerged as a promising therapeutic approach in various malignancies, including EGJ-AC. This narrative review aims to critically examine the rationale behind combining ICIs with standard treatment modalities, including RT or chemoradiotherapy, in the preoperative setting for locally advanced EGJ-AC. A comprehensive literature search identified eight phase 2 randomized clinical trials evaluating the safety profile and oncologic outcomes of adding ICI agents to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in this population. The results of enrolled trials show that the combination of ICIs with standard treatment modalities is a promising approach for improving survival and pathological response in patients with locally advanced EGJ-AC. This combination treatment was associated with mostly grade 1–2 immune-related toxicities, indicating its safety and tolerability.

The authors identified a significant presence of TB-like structures at the tumor invasive front in giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB), which may have the same biologic function as TB. The objective of this report was to describe the distribution of TB in GCTB and investigate its correlation with clinicopathologic characteristics, the immune microenvironment, survival prognosis, and response to denosumab treatment.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Methods</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>This multicenter cohort study included 426 patients with GCTB who received treatment between 2012 and 2021 at four centers. Two independent pathologists performed visual assessments of TBL structures in hematoxylin-and-eosin–stained tumor sections. Immunohistochemistry was used to evaluate tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte subtypes (CD3-positive, CD4-positive, CD8-positive, CD20-positive, programmed cell death protein-1–positive, programmed cell death-ligand 1positive, and FoxP3-positive) as well as Ki-67 expression levels in 426 tissue samples. These parameters were then analyzed for associations with patient outcomes (local recurrence-free survival [LRFS] and overall survival [OS]), clinicopathologic characteristics, and response to denosumab treatment.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Results</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>High-grade TB was associated with poorer LRFS and OS in both patient groups. In addition, TB was correlated with various clinicopathologic features, tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte expression, and response to denosumab treatment. TB outperformed the traditional Enneking and Campanacci staging systems in predicting patient LRFS and OS.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusions</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>The current data support the assessment of TBL structures as a reliable prognostic tool in GCTB, potentially aiding in the development of personalized treatment strategies for patients.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":138,"journal":{"name":"Cancer","volume":"130 23","pages":"4085-4095"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142138754","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
