TLDR
OS did not improve with the Pemetrexed plus bevacizumab regimen compared with the PacCBev regimen, although PFS was significantly improved with PemCBev.
Abstract
Purpose PointBreak (A Study of Pemetrexed, Carboplatin and Bevacizumab in Patients With Nonsquamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer) compared the efficacy and safety of pemetrexed (Pem) plus carboplatin (C) plus bevacizumab (Bev) followed by pemetrexed plus bevacizumab (PemCBev) with paclitaxel (Pac) plus carboplatin (C) plus bevacizumab (Bev) followed by bevacizumab (PacCBev) in patients with advanced nonsquamous non‐small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Smooth sailing for immunotherapy for unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer: the PACIFIC study.

TL;DR: The tumor microenvironment, the soil in which tumors grow in the body, has become a rich source of potential therapeutic intervention and there is now a growing appreciation of the complex contributions of each cell type to tumor growth.

Thérapies moléculaires ciblées en cancérologie pulmonaire

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors recensons les traitements which ciblent des anomalies moléculaires des cancers pulmonaires, i.e., the traitements anti-angiogéniques, les inhibiteurs des signaux de prolifération and l'immunothérapie.

Cardiogenic syncope possibly related to bevacizumab-containing combination chemotherapy for advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

TL;DR: The results indicate that bevacizumab could lead to cardiotoxicity in patients with NSCLC and suggest the importance of the follow-up cardiac ultrasonography.

Metastasis manners and the underlying mechanisms of ALK and ROS1 rearrangement lung cancer and current possible therapeutic strategies

TL;DR: The present review summarizes the current status of NSCLC metastasis and possible mechanisms based on available evidence, and lists possible therapeutic strategies so that an increase in control of ALK and ROS1 rearrangement of NSclC metastases by combination therapy can be translated in a increase in overall survival and prognosis.

Nonparametric Estimation from Incomplete Observations

TL;DR: In this article, the product-limit (PL) estimator was proposed to estimate the proportion of items in the population whose lifetimes would exceed t (in the absence of such losses), without making any assumption about the form of the function P(t).

Regression Models and Life-Tables

TL;DR: The analysis of censored failure times is considered in this paper, where the hazard function is taken to be a function of the explanatory variables and unknown regression coefficients multiplied by an arbitrary and unknown function of time.

New Guidelines to Evaluate the Response to Treatment in Solid Tumors

TL;DR: A model by which a combined assessment of all existing lesions, characterized by target lesions and nontarget lesions, is used to extrapolate an overall response to treatment is proposed, which is largely validated by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Group and integrated into the present guidelines.

TL;DR: A formula has been developed to predict Creatinine clearance from serum creatinine (Scr) in adult males: Ccr = (140 – age) (wt kg)/72 × Scr (mg/100ml) (15% less i).
