TL;DR: Surprisingly, almost half of the patients reported being satisfied with their treatment despite severe nerve pain, finding about a third of patients with long-standing diabetes have DPN of which about two thirds reported that it affected their quality of life.
Abstract: Introduction Painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a common complication of diabetes mellitus and can have debilitating consequences with a significant impact on quality of life. This study was done to evaluate treatment satisfaction and to describe pain experienced from DPN by patients at our Center. Methods Patients > or = 18 years of age with a diagnosis of diabetes, were offered a self-administered questionnaire by their health-care provider. In addition to information related to their diabetes, patients were asked if they experienced nerve pain, the characteristics of the nerve pain, impact on activitylevel, sleep, quality of life, and satisfaction with current therapy. Results A total of 98 patients, 53.1% female, met the inclusion criteria and were included in the analysis. Thirty-one patients (31.6%) reported neuropathic pain, with 83.3% having experienced nerve pain for > or = one year and the majority (67.7%) reporting nerve pain primarily in their feet. Impact of nerve pain on quality of life was noted by 61.3% of patients although 64.5% of patients reported that nerve pain did not cause them to avoid activities. Conclusion Painful DPN is a complication of diabetes mellitus and has a significant impact on quality of life. The results of our questionnaire found about a third of patients with long-standing diabetes have DPN of which about two thirds reported that it affected their quality of life. Surprisingly, almost half of the patients reported being satisfied with their treatment despite severe nerve pain.

TL;DR: While ipilimumab, a cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 inhibitor, has clearly improved outcomes in metastatic malignant melanoma, its safety and efficacy in NSCLC are not yet known.
Abstract: Immunotherapy has made significant progress in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in the last years. Early tumor vaccine studies showed trends toward better clinical outcomes, and larger trial results are currently being awaited. Immune checkpoint inhibitors are promising therapeutic agents in advanced NSCLC. While ipilimumab, a cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 inhibitor, has clearly improved outcomes in metastatic malignant melanoma, its safety and efficacy in NSCLC are not yet known. Programmed death-1 (PD-1) and PD-1 ligand inhibitors such as nivolumab, MK3475 and MPDL3280 have demonstrated clinical efficacy in patients with advanced/metastatic NSCLC in early clinical trials. Their validation in larger Phase III trials is anxiously being awaited. Furthermore, exploring efficacy of these molecules in patients with early stages of lung cancer is also necessary.
