Distant metastasis is common in non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and typically associated with poor prognosis. Aggressive local therapy including surgery and/or radiation for limited metastatic disease from colorectal cancer and sarcoma is associated with survival benefit and has become part of the standard of care. In this article, we review the literature and ongoing studies concerning surgery, radiation, and radiofrequency ablation for oligometastatic NSCLC.

Individual parameters of circulating hemopoietic stem cells (HSC) lymphoid origin were measured by cytofluorometry before treatment of patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer and were retrospectively compared with individual life span's (LS). The possibility of poor prognosis of treatment's results (LS

Over the past decade, major breakthroughs in the understanding of lung cancer histology and mutational pathways have radically changed diagnosis and management. More specifically, in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), tumour characterisation has shifted from differentiating based solely on histology to characterisation that includes genetic profiling and mutational status of Epidermal Growth Factor (EGFR), Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK), c-ros oncogene 1 (ROS1) and BRAF. These genetic alterations can be targeted by specific drugs that result in improved progression-free survival, as well as higher response rates and are currently standard of care for NSCLC patients harbouring these mutations. In this a narrative, non-systematic review we aim to handpick through the extensive literature and critically present the ground-breaking studies that lead to the institution of tailored treatment options as the standard of care for the main targetable genetic alterations.

Background/Aims: Cytokines are key players in tumorigenesis and are potential targets in cancer treatment. Although IL-6 has attracted considerable attention, interleukin 11 (IL-11), another member of the IL-6 family, has long been overlooked, and little is known regarding its specific function in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In this study, we explored IL-11’s role in NSCLC and the detailed mechanism behind it. Methods: Cell proliferation in response to IL-11 was determined by colony formation, BrdU incorporation and MTS (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium) assay. Cell motility was measured by Transwell and wound healing assays. NSCLC xenograft models were used to confirm oncogenic function of IL-11 in vivo. Immunohistochemical staining and western blot assay were performed to detect epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers and cell signaling pathway alterations. Eighteen NSCLC patients and 5 normal lung samples were collected together with data from an online database to determine the link between IL-11 expression and malignant progression. Results: We observed that IL-11 was upregulated in NSCLC samples compared with normal tissue samples and correlated with poor prognosis. Data from in vitro and in vivo models indicated that IL-11 promotes cell proliferation and tumorigenesis. Cell migration and invasion were also enhanced by IL-11. Epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) was also observed after IL-11 incubation. Furthermore, IL-11 activated AKT and STAT3 in our experimental models. In addition, we observed that hypoxia induced IL-11 expression in NSCLC cells. Deferoxamine (DFX) or dimethyloxalylglycine (DMOG) induced hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF1α) upregulation, which enhanced IL-11 expression in NSCLC cells. Conclusions: Taken together, our results indicate that IL-11 is an oncogene in NSCLC, and elucidating the mechanism behind it may provide insights for NSCLC treatment.
