A single-cell approach to identify biomarkers of efficacy and toxicity for immune checkpoint blockade in non-small cell lung cancer. KU Leuven
Immunotherapy, and specifically immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI), has revolutionized care for lung cancer patients. Despite the undeniable progress, ICI has also brought along a whole new spectrum of side effects termed immune-related adverse events (irAEs). ICI-pneumonitis is an irAE of special interest; it has a high prevalence in anti-PD-1/PD-L1 treated lung cancer patients and is the most frequent fatal irAE in this population. This ...

Surgical Mediastinal Staging and Minimally Invasive Resection in the Treatment of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer. KU Leuven
Introduction and background:
A complete resection is the cornerstone in the treatment of early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Over the last decades survival after surgery improved due to better preoperative staging, better postoperative care, multimodal treatment and the increase of lung parenchyma sparing surgical techniques, resulting in relative less pneumonectomies.
Recently, minimally invasive techniques, ...

Charting non-small cell lung cancer evolution and heterogeneity through multi-omics analysis and deconvolution KU Leuven
n many malignancies, molecular and cellular heterogeneity poses major challenges for diagnosis and treatment. Tumours are composed of subpopulations of cells harbouring distinct genomic alterations (subclones) which can affect their phenotype. Studies of intra-tumour heterogeneity generally focus on a single information layer. However, multi-omics characterisation is required to shed light on the functional impact of subclonal mutations. ...
