Highlights

  • Recently, cancer immunotherapy targeting PD-1 or PD-L1 has proven effective in causing durable antitumor immune responses with less toxicity in many types of tumors.

  • PD-1/PD-L1 blockade therapy will be the major cancer immunotherapy modality.

  • A deeper understanding of personal genomic information, and personalized markers in guiding anti-PD therapy.

  • Similar to the tip of an iceberg, PD-1/PD-L1 blockade antitumor immunotherapy opens a new era of cancer treatment, and further work on safety and efficiency will be required.

Does bisphenol A (BPA) participates in the pathogenesis of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)?
Lorena Ana Mercedes Lara Urbanetz, José Maria Soares Junior, Gustavo Arantes Rosa Maciel, Ricardo dos Santos Simões, Maria Cândida Pinheiro Baracat, Edmund Chada Baracat
Clinics. 2023;78C:100310
9
Highlights

  • Bisphenola A (BPA) is an endocrine disruptor widely investigated as a possible environmental contributor to the pathogenesis of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS).

  • Due to its structural similarity with the Estrogen molecule (E2), it acts as a xenoestrogen, binding to genomic and non-genomic estrogen receptors, causing metabolic and hormonal changes that lead to PCOS (hyperandrogenism, insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia, obesity, atherogenic dyslipidemia, anovulation, and ovarian cysts).

  • The aim and of this review were to present the mechanisms of bisphenol A participation in the pathogenesis of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.

Comparison of gefitinib plus chemotherapy versus gefitinib alone for advanced non‑small‑cell lung cancer: A meta analysis
Min Yi, Ting He, Kaijin Wang, Yonggang Wei
Clinics. 2023;78C:100152
6
Highlights

  • This meta-analysis shows that gefitinib plus chemotherapy showed significantly better efficacy in improving objective response rate, disease control rate, progression-free survival, and OS as compared with gefitinib alone.

  • Similar efficacy of gefitinib plus chemotherapy is found in the sub-population with positive EGFR mutation.

  • The toxicity of gefitinib plus chemotherapy is also increased but within clinical management.
