PURPOSE: COVID-19 cancer patients (C19-CP) represent a population at high risk for mortality, whose clinical characteristics are still unknown in the second SARS-CoV-2 wave. The aim of this retrospective study was to compare epidemiology and presentation C19-CP referring emergency department (ED) our institution (San Luigi Gonzaga University Hospital, Orbassano, Turin, Italy), 3-week observation period first waves, starting from introduction corresponding national lockdowns. METHODS: We...
Personalized treatment based on driver molecular alterations, such as ALK rearrangement, has revolutionized the therapeutic management of advanced oncogene addicted NSCLC patients. Multiple effective tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), with amelioration activity at central nervous system level, are now available, leading to substantial prognosis improvement. The exposure TKIs triggers resistance mechanisms and sequential administration other chemotherapy is, for most part, not targeted. In...
Background: Lung cancer (LC) tissue for immunological characterization is often scarce. We explored and compared T cell characteristics between broncho-alveolar lavage from tumor affected (t-BAL) contralateral lung (cl-BAL), with matched peripheral blood (PB). Methods: BAL PB were collected during bronchoscopy diagnostic and/or therapeutic purposes in patients monolateral primary lesion. Results: Of 33 undergoing sampling, 21 had histologically-confirmed LC. Most cases locally-advanced or...
