Comparison of the Efficacy and Safety of PD‐1/PD‐L1 Inhibitors in the Treatment of Small Cell Lung Cancer by Qichen Zhang, Xiaojuan Han, Jiayi Liu, Hui Qiao

“…Treatment effectiveness was measured by overall response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), overall survival (OS), and progression‐free survival (PFS), utilizing chi‐square and T‐tests, along with Kaplan–Meier and log‐rank analyses. Results In the PD‐L1 group, 16 patients achieved partial or complete response, versus 12 in the PD‐1 group, though the difference in the ORR was not statistically significant (50.0% vs. 36.8%, p = 0.308). …”

High systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) level as a prognostic factor for colorectal cancer patients after curative surgery: a single-center retrospective analysis by Tamuro Hayama, Hiroki Ochiai, Tsuyoshi Ozawa, Toshiya Miyata, Kentaro Asako, Yoshihisa Fukushima, Kensuke Kaneko, Keijiro Nozawa, Shoichi Fujii, Takeyuki Misawa, Takeo Fukagawa

“…Multivariable analyses revealed that a high-SIRI level was an independent risk factor for 5-year RFS (p = 0.045) and OS (p = 0.048) in CRC patients. A Kaplan–Meier analysis demonstrated significantly poorer 5-year RFS and OS outcomes in the high-SIRI group compared to the low-SIRI group (p = 0.0001, p = 0.017 respectively). …”
