Weakly-supervised learning for lung carcinoma classification using deep learning.

TL;DR: A Convolution Neural Network based on the EfficientNet-B3 architecture is trained, using transfer learning and weakly-supervised learning, to predict carcinoma in Whole Slide Images using a training dataset of 3,554 WSIs.

Mechanisms and therapy for cancer metastasis to the brain

TL;DR: The survival benefit of surgical resection seems limited to the subgroup of patients with controlled systemic disease and good performance status, and the neurocognitive sequelae of WBRT intensity modulated radiotherapy with hippocampal sparing, and pharmacological approaches have been investigated.

Repurposing of Kinase Inhibitors for Treatment of COVID-19.

TL;DR: More than 30 approved kinase inhibitors are characterized in terms of their antiviral potential, due to their measured potency against key kinases required for viral entry, metabolism, or reproduction, including inhibitors with potential to reverse pulmonary insufficiency.

Identification of the transforming EML4–ALK fusion gene in non-small-cell lung cancer

TL;DR: It is shown that a small inversion within chromosome 2p results in the formation of a fusion gene comprising portions of the echinoderm microtubule-associated protein-like 4 (EML4) gene and the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells.

First-line crizotinib versus chemotherapy in ALK-positive lung cancer

TL;DR: Crizotinib was superior to standard first-line pemetrexed-plus-platinum chemotherapy in patients with previously untreated advanced ALK-positive NSCLC and was associated with greater reduction in lung cancer symptoms and greater improvement in quality of life.
