People living with head and neck cancer frequently encounter challenges in their treatment with multimodality therapy and risk of side effects. Ensuring access to and use of interdisciplinary supportive and palliative care is often challenging given the complex needs and unfamiliar treatment experiences.
Describe the
as an approach to enhance access to and utilization of interdisciplinary supportive and palliative care for people living with head and neck cancer.
The Cancer Appetite and Rehabilitation (CARE) Clinic model offers interdisciplinary supportive and palliative care to patients at risk, including those living with head and neck cancer. The oncology nurse navigator (ONN) serves as gate opener, ensuring that those individuals receive appropriate assessment with personalized education and referrals for timely prehabilitation, rehabilitation, and palliation.
The ONN, as a gate opener for people living with head and neck cancer, offers an innovative approach to elevate the patient experience and improve clinical outcomes through interdisciplinary supportive and palliative care when working in collaboration with the CARE Clinic. Guidance for other centers to adapt our model to meet their patient and family needs concludes our discussion.

To explore the efficacy of primary chemoradiation with cisplatin versus cetuximab with respect to HPV/p16 and smoking statuses.
We retrospectively reviewed patients from our center with locally advanced non-nasopharyngeal head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) who received primary chemoradiation with cisplatin or cetuximab between 2006 and 2018.
The median OS for cisplatin (n = 66) was not reached versus 132months when treated with cetuximab (n = 55) (p = 0.03). For HPV/p16-positive patients, we found the median OS for cisplatin (n = 34) was not reached versus 60months with cetuximab (n = 21) (p = 0.036). In the smoking group, the median OS was not reached in the cisplatin group (n = 44) versus 60months when treated with cetuximab (n = 32) (p = 0.03).
HPV/p16-positive and smoking cohorts treated with cisplatin-based chemoradiotherapy had a significantly better OS versus cetuximab.

Emerging evidence suggests that pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) secrete deoxycytidine, which confers resistance to gemcitabine. In particular, deoxycytidine was detected by analysis of metabolites in fractionated media from different mouse PSCs, showing that it caused PDAC cells chemoresistance by reducing the capacity of deoxycytidine kinase (dCK) for gemcitabine phosphorylation. However, data on human models are missing and dCK expression was not associated with clinical efficacy of gemcitabine. We recently established co-culture models of hetero-spheroids including primary human PSCs and PDAC cells showing their importance as a platform to test the effects of cancer- and stroma-targeted drugs. Here, we discuss the limitations of previous studies and the potential use of above-mentioned models to study molecular mechanisms underlying chemo- and radio-resistance.
PD-L1 expression and tumour mutational burden (TMB) are both associated with the responses of multiple tumours to immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy. KN-93 in vitro However, their prevalence and correlations may differ in different types of advanced solid tumours.
PD-L1 expression, TMB, and PD-1
Tils (tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes) infiltration and their relationships were assessed in 6668 advanced solid tumour specimens across 25 tumour types. CD8
T cell infiltration was analysed in 347 NSCLC samples. The associations of these biomarkers with the therapeutic effect of PD-1 inhibitor were analysed in a cohort of NSCLC samples.
PD-L1 expression levels and TMB in different tumour types varied widely and their relationship was not significantly correlated in most cancer types, with only a small association across all specimens (Spearman R = 0.059). PD-1
Tils infiltration was positively correlated with PD-L1 expression across all samples (Spearman R = 0.3056). However, there is no such correlation between PD-1
Tils infiltration and TMB. In NSCLC samples, CD8
T cell infiltration was correlated with PD-1
Tils infiltration and PD-L1 expression but not with TMB (Spearman R = 0.4117, 0.2045, and 0.0007, respectively). Patients in the CR/PR group (anti-PD-1 therapy) had higher levels of PD-L1 expression, TMB, PD-1
Tils, and CD8
T cell infiltration, and many patients in this group exhibited concomitantly elevated levels of multiple biomarkers.
Our results showed the PD-L1 expression status and TMB in various types of advanced solid tumours in Chinese patients and their relationships with PD-1
Tils and CD8
T cell infiltration, which may inform ICI treatment.

Controlled synthesis of multiblock copolypeptides through the sequential addition of N-carboxyanhydrides (NCAs), especially with the block number higher than five, however, is challenging and rarely reported due to competing side reactions during the polymerization process. Herein we report the unprecedented synthesis of block copolypeptides with up to 20 blocks, enabled by ultrafast polypeptide chain propagation in a water/chloroform emulsion system that outpaces side reactions and ensures high end-group fidelity. Well-defined multiblock copolypeptides with desired block numbers, block lengths, and block sequences as well as very low dispersity were readily attainable in a few hours. This method paves the way for the fast production of a large number of sequence-regulated multiblock copolypeptide materials, which may exhibit interesting assembly behaviors and biomedical applications.
