QoL↑, Total QOL score, especially appetite and sleep quality, was significantly improved with the administration of lentinan.

5580- B-Gluc,    Lentinan, a Shiitake Mushroom β-Glucan, Downregulates the Enhanced PD-L1 Expression Induced by Platinum Compounds in Gastric Cancer Cells
- in-vitro, GC, MKN45
PD-L1↓, lentinan treatment inhibited the platinum drug-stimulated expression of PD-L1 in gastric cancer cells mainly by suppressing MAPK signaling
MAPK↓,
OS↑, Lentinan has been reported to improve the overall survival of cancer patients receiving chemotherapy [23, 24] through its antitumor and immunomodulatory activitie
AntiTum↑,
Imm↑,

5499- Ba,    Anti-cancer effects of baicalein in non-small cell lung cancer in-vitro and in-vivo
- vitro+vivo, Lung, H460 - vitro+vivo, Lung, A549
TumCP↓, Baicalein significantly decreased lung cancer proliferation in H-460 cells in a dose dependent manner.
Apoptosis↑, dose-dependent induction in apoptosis associated with decreased cellular f-actin content, an increase in nuclear condensation and an increase in mitochondrial mass potential was observed.
F-actin↓,
TumVol↓, baicalein significantly (p < 0.05) reduced tumour growth and prolonged survival.
OS↑,
12LOX↓, demonstrated reduced expression of both 12-lipoxygenase and VEGF proteins in baicalein-treated tumours, relative to untreated.
VEGF↓,
angioG↓, improves survival in-vivo, an effect that is at least partly mediated through effects on cell cycle and tumour angiogenesis.

1376- BBR,  immuno,    Berberine sensitizes immune checkpoint blockade therapy in melanoma by NQO1 inhibition and ROS activation
- in-vivo, Melanoma, NA
OS↑, BBR could sensitize ICB to inhibit tumor growth and increased the survival rate of mice.
ROS↑,
NQO1↓,
ICD↑,

5516- BEV,  immuno,  Chemo,    Targeting vascular normalization: a promising strategy to improve immune–vascular crosstalk in cancer immunotherapy
- Review, Var, NA
OS↑, addition of atezolizumab to bevacizumab plus chemotherapy significantly improved overall and progression-free survival in patients with metastatic nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer
eff↑, combining vascular normalization with immunotherapy may increase the efficacy of immunotherapy and reduce the risk of adverse reactions.

5595- BEV,  Chemo,    Bevacizumab plus Irinotecan, Fluorouracil, and Leucovorin for Metastatic Colorectal Cancer
- Human, CRC, NA
OS↑, The addition of bevacizumab to fluorouracil-based combination chemotherapy results in statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in survival among patients with metastatic colorectal cancer

5623- Bif,    Bifidobacterium breve predicts the efficacy of anti-PD-1 immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy in Chinese NSCLC patients
- Study, NSCLC, NA
GutMicro↑, Bifidobacterium, Escherichia, and Sarterella were significantly enriched in patients with clinical benefit response (p < 0.05), and these three bacteria had certain predictive value for clinical benefit.
OS↑, Patients with Bifidobacterium breve had significantly longer median progression‐free survival (mPFS) compared with patients with no detectable Bifidobacterium breve feces at baseline (106 days vs. NR, p < 0.001).
eff↑, The clinical efficacy of anti‐PD‐1 therapy combined with chemo in Chinese advanced NSCLC patients is closely related to the gut microbiota, and Bifidobacterium breve may be a potential biomarker to predict the efficacy of immune‐combined chemo

5628- Bif,  immuno,    Bifidobacterium modulation of tumor immunotherapy and its mechanism
- Review, Var, NA
Imm↑, his review will focus on the immunomodulatory effects of Bifidobacteria in malignancies and the possible mechanisms of action of Bifidobacteria on immunotherapy
Risk↓, Bifidobacteria have a role in the prevention of intestinal cancer in healthy intestinal microbiota by influencing intestinal probiotics metabolism and enhancing the host immune response;
GutMicro↑,
AntiTum↑, Bifidobacteria has been shown to positively induce an anti-tumor immune response [32].
OS↑, Bifidobacterium longum 420 significantly increased the survival of mice carrying renal cell carcinoma tumors treated with anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA-4 antibodies
selectivity↑, Bifidobacteria have been shown to selectively accumulate in tumors upon entry into the blood stream, possibly due to the hypoxic microenvironment’s
eff↑, (e.g., probiotic strains such as Bifidobacterium bifidum) to enhance the efficacy of cancer immunotherapy is still in its infancy,
