This article discusses a promising diagnostic approach aimed at improving patient selection for immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapies, particularly in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The current reliance on PD-L1 immunohistochemistry (IHC) as a biomarker has limited sensitivity and specificity.

This study investigated the long-term outcomes of hardware removal (HR) in patients who had previously undergone surgical fixation for blunt chest trauma, with a median of 11.5 rib fractures stabilized per patient. A retrospective review spanning 2017 to 2023 was performed, with follow-up assessments conducted approximately 28 months after HR.
