In epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), transformation to small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is associated with poor outcomes, and the optimal treatment strategy is unclear. This study aimed to investigate the clinical factors and treatments associated with outcomes in this group.

Impact of Subsequent Treatment on Clinical Outcomes in Patients with EGFR-Mutant Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Transformed to Small-Cell Lung Cancer.

Real-world data regarding the T790M mutation rate after acquiring resistance to first-line combination therapy with epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) and bevacizumab in patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are limited. The present study was aimed at analyzing predictors of acquired T790M mutations in this patient group. A total of 107 patients who received first-line combination therapy with EGFR-TKIs and bevacizumab at 11 tertiary referral centers in Taiwan were enrolled in this multicenter retrospective study. Survival data and genomic test results after acquiring resistance were analyzed. We discovered that patients who received a combination of afatinib, a second generation EGFR-TKI, and bevacizumab showed better progression-free survival (PFS). After disease progression, 59 patients (55.1%) were confirmed to test positive for EGFR T790M. A longer duration of first-line therapy could be a predictor of subsequent T790M mutations. To our knowledge, this is one of the few and early studies to demonstrate the T790M mutation rate after first-line combination therapy with an EGFR-TKI and bevacizumab. Whether the longer PFS afforded by the addition of bevacizumab could lead to subsequent T790M mutations needs further investigation.

There is currently no consensus on the optimal placement of the tibial tunnel for double-bundle posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction. The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical and radiologic outcomes of double-bundle PCL reconstruction utilizing anatomic versus low tibial tunnels. We conducted a retrospective cohort study involving patients who underwent double-bundle PCL reconstruction between Jan 2019 and Jan 2022, with a minimum follow-up of 2 years ( = 36). Based on the tibial tunnel position on postoperative computed tomography, patients were categorized into two groups: anatomic placement (group A;  = 18) and low tunnel placement (group L;  = 18). We compared the range of motion, stability test, complications, and side-to-side differences in tibial posterior translation using kneeling stress radiography between the two groups. There were no significant differences between the groups regarding clinical outcomes or complication rates. No significant differences in the posterior drawer test and side-to-side difference on kneeling stress radiography (2.5 ± 1.2 mm in group A vs. 3.7 ± 2.0 mm in group L;  = 0.346). In conclusion, the main findings of this study indicate that both anatomic tunnel and low tibial tunnel placements in double-bundle PCL reconstruction demonstrated comparable and satisfactory clinical and radiologic outcomes, with similar overall complication rates at the 2-year follow-up.
