ABSTRACT
Patients with gastric cancer often have different degrees of dyslipidemia, and the level of lipid changes is closely related to the occurrence, development and prognosis of gastric cancer. The mechanism of lipid metabolism in gastric cancer has also attracted much attention, and it may be related to the reverse cholesterol transport function, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. In addition, statins may reduce the risk of gastric cancer and associated mortality. Further research on the correlation between blood lipid levels and gastric cancer is aimed to provide new ideas for the future prevention and precision diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer.
ABSTRACT
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are novel drugs consisting of monoclonal antibodies targeting tumor-specific or tumor-associated antigens coupled with different numbers of payloads via linkers. ADCs have shown promising clinical benefits in the treatment of a variety of malignancies. Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a hypo-differentiated neuroendocrine tumor with an extremely high degree of malignancy. Although SCLC is sensitive to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, it has a poor prognosis due to characteristics such as early susceptibility to metastasis and recurrence. Progress in the treatment of SCLC is very limited, and more durable and effective therapies should be developed to improve prognosis. However, the progress of SCLC-related therapeutic agents has been limited by the lack of specific molecular targets. This article reviews the basic principles and mechanisms of ADCs, highlights the research progress of relevant drugs against some targets in SCLC, and summarizes new targets that may be developed as targeted drugs.
ABSTRACT
Although targeted, immune and other therapeutic strategies have become the first-line standard therapy for patients with advanced lung cancer, acquired drug resistance is still inevitable in most cases. The advent of antibody-drug conjugates (ADC) provides a new choice. ADC is a new anticancer drug formed by the coupling of targeted anti-tumor monoclonal antibodies and cytotoxic drugs. Compared with chemotherapeutic drugs, ADC has the advantages of high tolerance, accurate target recognition and little effect on non-cancer cells, and has shown good clinical benefits in the treatment of a variety of malignant tumors. This article reviews the application of ADC in advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
