In recent years, immunotherapy drugs, particularly PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors, have gradually expanded from being used in later-line treatments to frontline therapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Perioperative immunotherapy has become a major focus in the field, with numerous breakthroughs reshaping the treatment landscape for operable NSCLC patients. However, challenges remain in patient selection, treatment regimens, and comprehensive perioperative management. As the year comes to an end, Oncology Frontier invited Dr. Changli Wang from Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital to review the progress and discuss the future prospects of perioperative immunotherapy for NSCLC in 2024.

As 2024 concludes, the year has left us with significant milestones and breakthroughs in oncology. Oncology Frontier invited Dr. Yongmei Yin from Jiangsu Cancer Hospital to summarize the year's advancements in HER2-positive breast cancer research, highlighting the clinical transformations brought by innovative therapies.

Pancreatic cancer (PC) stands as one of the most lethal cancers globally, ranking 12th in prevalence and sixth in cancer-related deaths. Its aggressive nature and often late diagnosis contribute to a dismal 5-year survival rate of merely 12%. While surgical resection offers the only potential cure, most patients are diagnosed at advanced stages, rendering surgery ineffective. Currently, effective and cost-efficient screening tools for the general population are lacking, and recommended screening strategies, like cross-sectional imaging and endoscopic ultrasonography, are limited to high-risk individuals.

At the end of 2024, the 2025 Essentials of CBCS & CSOBO Breast Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment Guidelines (hereafter referred to as the "New Little Red Book") was officially released during the 16th Shanghai Breast Cancer Symposium and Annual Meeting of the Shanghai Anti-Cancer Association Breast Cancer Committee. This updated edition provides fresh guidance for clinical breast cancer practices.
