Super happy for AIRC Next Generation Clinician Scientist:
1.5 million euros!
Chemo+ICI vs ICI in PD-L1>50% NSCLC pts selected for high-risk of hyperprogression according to neutrophils phenotype. 27 institutions across Europe and open to recruit more centers Fondazione AIRC per la ricerca sul cancro Università Vita-Salute San Raffaele

Immune checkpoint blockers in pts with solid organ transplant and solid tumors. Potential treatm for some pts but limited activity for pts with SOT and 🫁cancer.1/3 have organ rejection within 2mo after treatment initiation.Thanks all authors! OncoAlert

A piece of knowledge about TMB in cancer immunotherapy.
Thanks Biagio Ricciuti, MD PhD for coordinating this

#ELCC24 poster addressing the role of pCR as predictor of EFS benefit for immunotp in early NSCLC, and comparing periop and neoad according to PD-L1 and pCR. Kudos to Antonio Nuccio presenting our work!

ICHNO2024, reporting the results of LEA study on longitudinal performance of plasma EBV-DNA in non-endemic EBV+ nasopharyngeal cancer patients! Thanks to all of the - outstanding and very welcoming at same time - representatives of head and neck oncology!

Great news from Prague ESMO - Eur. Oncology #ELCC24 ! Our work led by Roberto Ferrara on waning effect of EGFR TKIs in adjuvant setting won best poster award! Mario Occhipinti Martina Imbimbo Vittorio Simeon

Pacific 2 vs 1 from biological perspective:
Does sequential/concurrent RT on lymphonodes negatively impact on priming and proliferation of T-cells under ICI?
A factor to be considered also in oligometastatic setting when RT is given to lymphonodes after systemic ICI? #ELLC24

Food for thoughts on treatment strategies in EGFR-m NSCLC. Questions to me:
-MET IHC is frequently high also in EGFR-TKIs naive setting?
-role of EGFR IHC overexpression (no exact overlap with EGFR-m) for amivantamab+CT as for cetuximab+CT in FLEX trial (jto.org/article/S1556-…)

First mechanistic link between chronic stress and cancer.
Chronic stress anticipates neutrophils diurnal peak in the blood of 5-8 hours.
A factor to be considered in chronoimmunotherapy studies. Stress induced corticosteroids promote metastases growth by inducing NET. Mikala Egeblad

MPR and pCR as surrogate endpoints for EFS jto.org/article/S1556-…

It' s not all about pCR. MPR showed good surrogacy score with 2 years EFS (same as pCR) giuseppe viscardi Antonio Nuccio.

Highlander (lifespan >5 days) neutrophils trascriptionally adapt to survive in very hypoxic tumor niches and are responsible of accelerated tumor growth in tumor models (and poor prognosis in cancer patients)
