Abstract
Abstract
Background
Gefitinib and erlotinib, are epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors, and are currently recommended for non-small cell lung cancer stage IV in the elderly and in patients with decreased performance status in the Japanese Lung Cancer Society Guideline, but they occasionally caused severe hepatotoxicity requiring postponement or modification of treatment. However, little is known about the risk factors for hepatotoxicity in patients receiving gefitinib and erlotinib. In this study, we investigated the factors influencing hepatotoxicity in Japanese non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with gefitinib or erlotinib monotherapy.
Methods
Japanese patients with NSCLC who started gefitinib or erlotinib monotherapy from January 2005 to December 2017 at Kanazawa University Hospital or Kanazawa Medical University Hospital were included in this study. Factors affecting hepatotoxicity were retrospectively investigated by multiple logistic regression analysis.
Results
A total of 102 patients who received gefitinib and 95 patients who received erlotinib were included in the analysis. In the gefitinib group, a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25 was associated with an increased risk of hepatotoxicity (OR = 4.571, 95% CI = 1.486–14.056, P = 0.008). In the erlotinib group, concomitant use of acid-suppressing medications (AS), namely proton pump inhibitors or histamine-2 receptor antagonists, was associated with a reduced risk of hepatotoxicity (OR = 0.341, 95% CI = 0.129–0.900, P = 0.030).
Conclusions
BMI ≥ 25 in patients treated with gefitinib increased the risk of hepatotoxicity. In contrast, AS combination with erlotinib reduced the risk of hepatotoxicity. Thus, because different factors influence the risk of hepatotoxicity, monitoring for adverse events should take into account patient background factors and concomitant medications.

First and repeat rebiopsy for detecting EGFR T790M mutation in non-small-cell lung cancer: CS-Lung-003 prospective observational registry study. J Cancer Res Clin Oncol 2022; 148:1869-1877. [PMID: 35386002 DOI: 10.1007/s00432-021-03893-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2021] [Accepted: 12/19/2021] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Osimertinib is still essential for the treatment of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-T790M-positive non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) even in a relapsed setting, which suggests the importance of rebiopsy. The clinical value of repeat rebiopsy in patients with NSCLC who are T790M-negative on a first rebiopsy remains unclear. In this study, we examined the status of the first rebiopsy and evaluated the frequency of repeat rebiopsy of T790M-negative tumors detected by the first rebiopsy. METHODS We reviewed 144 patients with NSCLC with major EGFR mutations, but not T790M, who received first- or second-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), registered in the prospective, umbrella-type lung cancer patient registry (CS-Lung-003). RESULTS Overall, 63 patients (44%) underwent the first rebiopsy. In the first rebiopsy, 51 (81%) and 12 (19%) of 63 underwent histological/cytological rebiopsy and liquid biopsy with the blood sampling, respectively. In the repeat rebiopsy, 23 (85%) and 4 (15%) of 27 underwent histological/cytological rebiopsy and liquid biopsy, respectively. The most frequently rebiopsied site was a pulmonary lesion (n = 24, 38.7%). Overall, 29 (46.0%) of 63 patients harbored the T790M mutation. Interestingly, a high detection rate of cancer cells did not necessarily indicate a high detection rate of the T790M mutation (p < 0.01). Among 34 patients with T790M-negative tumors confirmed on the first rebiopsy, 20 (58.8%) underwent repeat rebiopsies following interval therapy, revealing that seven (36.8%) had T790M-positive tumors. Osimertinib yielded median progression-free survival of 11.8 and 16.2 months in patients with the 790M mutation detected by the first rebiopsy and repeat rebiopsy, respectively. CONCLUSION In our prospective cohort, the T790M mutation was detected in 46% of patients who underwent the first rebiopsy. Repeat rebiopsy may increase the ability to detect the T790M mutation positivity rate.

Abstract
Obesity, whose prevalence is pandemic and continuing to increase, is a major preventable and modifiable risk factor for diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, as well as for cancer. Furthermore, epidemiological studies have shown that obesity is a negative independent prognostic factor for several oncological outcomes, including overall and cancer-specific survival, for several site-specific cancers as well as for all cancers combined. Yet, a recently growing body of evidence suggests that sometimes overweight and obesity may associate with better outcomes, and that immunotherapy may show improved response among obese patients compared with patients with a normal weight. The so-called 'obesity paradox' has been reported in several advanced cancer as well as in other diseases, albeit the mechanisms behind this unexpected relationship are still not clear. Aim of this review is to explore the expected as well as the paradoxical relationship between obesity and cancer prognosis, with a particular emphasis on the effects of cancer therapies in obese people.

Abstract
Most anticancer molecules are administered in body-size-based dosing schedules, bringing up unsolved issues regarding pharmacokinetic data in heavy patients. The worldwide spread of obesity has not been matched by improved methods and strategies for tailored drug dosage in this population. The weight or body surface area (BSA)-based approaches may fail to fully reflect the complexity of the anthropometric features besides obesity in cancer patients suffering from sarcopenia. Likewise, there is a lack of pharmacokinetic data on obese patients for the majority of chemotherapeutic agents as well as for new target drugs and immunotherapy. Therefore, although the available findings point to the role of dose intensity in cancer treatment, and support full weight-based dosing, empirical dose capping often occurs in clinical practice in order to avoid toxicity. Thus a panel of experts of the Associazione Italiana Oncologia Medica (AIOM), Associazione Medici Diabetologi (AMD), Società Italiana Endocrinologia (SIE), and Società Italiana Farmacologia (SIF), provides here a consensus statement for appropriate cytotoxic chemotherapy and new biological cancer drug dosing in obese patients. The worldwide spread of obesity is an emerging challenge also in cancer patients Weight or BSA-based approaches do not adequately address the critical issue of optimal dosing for cancer drugs under obesity Empirical dose capping is often employed in clinical practice to avoid toxicities among overweight and obese patients There is a lack of clinical and pharmacokinetic studies in this population Clinical practice recommendations should guide suitable dosing of cytotoxic and biological cancer drugs in obese patients

Abstract
Approximately 20-25% of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is diagnosed when the disease has progressed to clinical stage III. At this stage, and even if the cancer is considered unresectable, the treatment strategy should aim to achieve a cure. At the time of the initial diagnosis, it is necessary for medical oncologists to devise the best treatment strategy for each patient by composing a multidisciplinary treatment team including thoracic surgeons and radiation oncologists. In this review, we summarize prior pivotal clinical trials in unresectable clinical stage III NSCLC. Furthermore, we review very recent clinical trials evaluating the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors in the treatment of NSCLC.

Recent treatment strategy for advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the lung in Japan. Int J Clin Oncol 2019; 24:461-467.

Abstract
Squamous cell carcinoma of the lung is associated with smoking in its development and comprises about 20-30% of all lung cancers. Its treatment strategy had been limited for the past decades, inevitably resulting in the poor outcome. However in the 2010s, it has dramatically changed mainly with the recent clinical introduction of immune checkpoint inhibitors. In this review, we will introduce various clinical studies involving squamous cell carcinoma of the lung.
