Impact of PD-1 Blockade on Severity of COVID-19 in Patients with Lung Cancers.

TL;DR: In 69 patients with lung cancer who developed COVID-19, disease severity and mortality were high, but prior PD-1 blockade was not a risk factor for poor outcomes in this group, suggesting the therapy should be used when indicated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prognostic and Predictive Impact of Circulating Tumor DNA in Patients with Advanced Cancers Treated with Immune Checkpoint Blockade

TL;DR: A concept of "molecular response" using ctDNA is proposed, incorporating both pretreatment and on-treatment VAF that predicted long-term survival similarly to initial radiological response, while also permitting early differentiation of responders among patients with initially radiologically stable disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

MET-dependent solid tumours - molecular diagnosis and targeted therapy

TL;DR: The utility of various diagnostic techniques and the roles of different classes of MET-targeted therapies in cancers with MET amplification, mutation and fusion, and MET overexpression are evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI

AMP-Activated Protein Kinase Directly Phosphorylates and Destabilizes Hedgehog Pathway Transcription Factor GLI1 in Medulloblastoma.

TL;DR: The Hedgehog (Hh) pathway regulates cell differentiation and proliferation during development by controlling the Gli transcription factors and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) reduces GLI1 protein levels and stability, thus blocking Sonic-hedgehog-induced transcriptional activity.
