Non-invasive multimodal CT deep learning biomarker to predict pathological complete response of non-small cell lung cancer following neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy: a multicenter study

AI SummaryThis study focuses on using pretreatment multimodal CT scans to create deep learning-based image biomarkers for predicting the pathological complete response of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) following neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy. Deep learning features were extracted from both non-contrast enhanced and contrast enhanced CT scans to construct predictive models, with a fused model showing the… Continue reading Non-invasive multimodal CT deep learning biomarker to predict pathological complete response of non-small cell lung cancer following neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy: a multicenter study

Targeting IL-33 reprograms the tumor microenvironment and potentiates antitumor response to anti-PD-L1 immunotherapy

AI SummaryThis study focused on the use of IL-33 targeting to enhance the antitumor response to anti-PD-L1 immunotherapy by reprogramming the tumor microenvironment. The research demonstrated that blocking IL-33 using a fusion protein in combination with anti-PD-L1 treatment increased T cell responses, inhibited tumor progression, and provided long-term protective immunity. Targeting both IL-33 and PD-L1… Continue reading Targeting IL-33 reprograms the tumor microenvironment and potentiates antitumor response to anti-PD-L1 immunotherapy
