In addition to the combination of ICI with other therapies, several new treatment strategies for SCLC are under investigation with promising results [61]. Despite notable clinical responses, basic and clinical studies are still required to investigate the exact mechanism of response to ICI therapy and...
A recent prospective study found that individuals with gastrointestinal symptoms that required a gastrointestinal endoscopy, but with a finding of histologically normal mucosa or nonspecific inflammation, had an increased subsequent risk of developing Alzheimer’s or Parkinson diseases compared with the ...
