Abstract
RATIONALE This is the first known report to describe a case of advanced non-smoking lung adenocarcinoma with no epidermal growth factor receptor mutation after comprehensive epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor-based therapy that survived for nearly 12 years. PATIENT CONCERNS A 48-year-old Chinese woman that came to our hospital with a left supraclavicular mass. DIAGNOSIS The final diagnosis was left lung adenocarcinoma with left supraclavicular lymph node metastasis, cT1N3M0 IIIB (International association for the Study of lung cancer 6th version). INTERVENTIONS After 4 months of 4 cycles of chemotherapy, gefitinib was administered alone for 5.5 years. Local radiotherapy (40GY/20F) was administered for 1 month, and osimertinib alone was followed for 4.5 years. A combination of pemetrexed with oxaliplatin and hyperthermia at the same time was administered for 4 cycles. Toripalimab and anlotinib were administered for 3 months. Since then, the patient had been taking a double dose of icotinib herself. OUTCOMES The patient has survived for nearly 12 years since diagnosis of lung cancer. LESSONS Our case is of significant importance to clinicians involved in the treatment of patients with advanced nonsmoking lung adenocarcinoma and no epidermal growth factor receptor mutations.

Abstract
Mutations in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) play critical roles in the pathogenesis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and they are highly associated with sensitivity to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). While the pathogenic and pharmacological characteristics of common mutations in EGFR have been thoroughly investigated, those of uncommon mutations remain to be elucidated. Traditional approaches to study common mutations by randomized controlled trials are not feasible for uncommon mutations owing to their rarity. Therefore, by systematically reviewing laboratory and clinical studies of the G719X mutation, one of the uncommon mutations, we concluded that the G719X mutation was intermediately sensitive to TKIs, with an average response rate of 35.1% (47/134). Moreover, accordingly, we proposed a comprehensive model to investigate uncommon mutations in EGFR. The model involves both basic and clinical components, composed of structural analyses, functional alterations, cell viabilities and animal models with various types of clinical studies. In this review, we systematically reviewed studies of the G719X mutation and put forward a research model that could be generalized to explore uncommon mutations in diseases associated with gene mutations.

Abstract
Non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) that express the cell surface adhesion protein E-cadherin may carry a better prognosis than E-cadherin-negative tumors. Here, we found substantial inhibition of anchorage-independent growth in soft agar and cell migration in each of four NSCLC lines stably transfected with E-cadherin. The inhibitory effects were independent of the EGFR and beta-catenin/Wnt-signaling pathways. However, E-cadherin expression was associated with an adhesion-dependent reduction in the activity of Rho family proteins, RhoA in two lines and Cdc42 in the other two. The reduction of RhoA activity was dependent on DLC-1 Rho-GAP and p190 Rho-GAP and associated with an increase in a membrane-associated p190 Rho-GAP/p120 Ras-GAP complex. In parental cells with high levels of RhoA-GTP, siRNA-mediated knock-down of RhoA reduced cell migration and agar growth in a manner analogous to E-cadherin. In parental cells with high levels of Cdc42-GTP, transfection of a Cdc42 dominant-negative mutant reduced cell growth and migration similarly to cells expressing E-cadherin. Thus, E-cadherin can negatively regulate cell proliferation and migration in NSCLC by reducing the level of the predominant active form of Rho family protein, RhoA or Cdc42. These proteins can be considered downstream effectors of E-cadherin and might represent therapeutic targets in some NSCLC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to identify total lifetime medical-care costs and costs associated with first-line chemotherapy treatment among older patients with stage IIIB/IV non-small-cell lung cancer treated with commonly used two-drug chemotherapy ("doublet") regimens in the United States. METHODS Study patients included individuals aged 65 years and older who received a diagnosis of stage IIIB/IV non-small-cell lung cancer in a Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results cancer registry between 1997 and 2002 and who received first-line treatment with commonly used doublet regimens. Patients were followed retrospectively in the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results-Medicare database to evaluate lifetime medical-care costs and costs while on first-line chemotherapy treatment. Pairwise comparisons of treatment costs were estimated by using nonparametric bootstrap methods. RESULTS Lifetime medical-care costs totaled approximately $70,000 and on-treatment costs for first-line chemotherapy totaled approximately $30,000 among study patients and were dominated by hospitalization and physician costs. Lifetime costs were significantly higher among patients treated with first-line cisplatin/carboplatin (platinum) plus a taxane compared with those who received platinum plus gemcitabine [difference: $4781 ($1558-$8039)] or other doublet therapy [difference: $5961 ($2333-$9614)]. Total on-treatment costs for first-line chemotherapy were significantly higher among patients treated with platinum plus a taxane compared with those who received platinum plus gemcitabine [difference: $5825 ($3872-$7770)], platinum plus another agent [difference: $5968 ($3995-$7975)], or another doublet therapy [difference: $3663 ($1620-$5740)]. CONCLUSIONS There is a cost differential between first-line doublet regimens in terms of lifetime and on-treatment costs. Although doublet therapy with platinum and a taxane was the most frequently utilized regimen, it was associated with the highest lifetime and on-treatment costs.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study assessed first-line chemotherapy treatment patterns over time and identified predictors of chemotherapy use and treatment selection among elderly patients with newly diagnosed Stage IIIB/IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in the United States. METHODS Patients aged 65 years and older newly diagnosed with Stage IIIB/IV NSCLC between 1997 and 2002 were identified and followed through 2003 using the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER)-Medicare database to evaluate temporal trends in chemotherapy treatment. Multivariate logistic regression models were estimated to identify predictors of chemotherapy treatment and factors associated with use of cisplatin/carboplatin (platinum) and either a taxane or gemcitabine versus other treatments. RESULTS Chemotherapy use increased from approximately 28% of Stage IIIB/IV NSCLC patients diagnosed in 1997 to 36% of patients diagnosed in 2002. Doublet therapy was most commonly used as first-line therapy, received by 74% of chemotherapy-treated patients across all study years. Use of doublet therapy with platinum and either a taxane or gemcitabine also increased over time (with the largest increase for gemcitabine combinations from 0.3% in 1997 to 11.8% in 2002). Males were more likely than females to be treated with chemotherapy (odds ratios [95% CI]: 1.14 [1.06-1.22]), as were patients in the Northeast and South relative to patients in the West (1.24 [1.13-1.36] and 1.33 [1.20-1.47], respectively). CONCLUSION Use of first-line chemotherapy treatment among elderly Stage IIIB/IV NSCLC patients is low, but appears to be increasing, with potential regional and gender differences in treatment. These findings are likely to be of interest to clinicians and policymakers.

Abstract
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most lethal malignant tumor and is also considered one of the most chemoresistant cancers. Despite the benefits obtained from platinum-based therapy, the majority of patients treated will progress and die. In the continuing quest for personalized therapy based on the biomolecular characteristics of each single patient, clinical practice now seems to be oriented towards combining conventional drugs with molecular-targeted agents. In the present study, we evaluated the antitumor activity of docetaxel, one of the most widely used drugs for second-line treatment, and Iressa, an EGFR-targeting tyrosine kinase inhibitor, administered singly or in sequence. The study was performed on three human NSCLC cell lines (ChaGo-K1, CAEP and RAL) that exhibit different expression of proliferation and apoptosis-related markers, and do not harbor EGFR mutations. The efficacy of docetaxel and Iressa differed in the three cell lines and an important synergistic interaction was observed with the sequence 1-h docetaxel --> 72-h Iressa during which Iressa doubled the fraction of docetaxel-induced apoptotic cells, amplifying a caspase-dependent apoptosis and inhibiting docetaxel-induced p21 hyperexpression. Moreover, the important role of MAPK-dependent modulation of this molecular marker was shown using a specific inhibitor. The results from the present preclinical study demonstrate the cytotoxic activity of Iressa and its ability to increase taxane activity in a model that does not harbor EGFR-specific mutations, thus highlighting the importance of focusing on alternative molecular targets of Iressa activity.

Abstract
Bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (BAC) is classified as a subset of lung adenocarcinoma but has a distinct clinical presentation, tumor biology, response to therapy, and prognosis compared with other subtypes of non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). Bronchioloalveolar carcinoma disproportionately affects women, never-smokers, and Asians and is characterized by growth along alveolar septae without evidence of stromal, vascular, or pleural invasion. Although pure BAC accounts for approximately 4% of lung cancers, tumors with histologically mixed BAC and adenocarcinoma account for > 20% of all NSCLCs, and the incidence of BAC might be increasing. Bronchioloalveolar carcinoma histology is most commonly found in small lesions identified incidentally on chest radiographs or computed tomography scans and might represent a precursor lesion to invasive adenocarcinoma. As with other subsets of NSCLC, surgical resection is the only potentially curative treatment. Patients with unresectable BAC are more likely to respond to the epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors gefitinib and erlotinib than patients with other subtypes of NSCLC. Stage for stage, patients with BAC have a higher rate of long-term survival but might have an increased rate of intrathoracic recurrence than patients with other subtypes of NSCLC.

Abstract
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the sixth most common cancer in the world and affects 50,000 Americans annually. During the past 20 years, treatments for HNSCC have changed dramatically due largely to the advent of novel approaches such as combined modality therapy, as well as improvements in surgical and radiotherapeutic techniques. Ongoing advances in the multidisciplinary management of this complex and multivariate disease process are resulting in improved function, quality of life and survival. Here, we review state-of-the-art therapy and presents selected advances in the treatment of head and neck cancer.
