PromptForge-350k: A Large-Scale Dataset and Contrastive Framework for Prompt-Based AI Image Forgery Localization
arXiv:2603.29386v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The rapid democratization of prompt-based AI image editing has recently exacerbated the risks associated with malicious content fabrication and misinformation. However, forgery localization methods targeting these emerging editing techniques remain significantly under-explored. To bridge this gap, we first introduce a fully automated mask annotating framework that leverages keypoint alignment and semantic space similarity to generate precise gro

ABSTRACT
Lung cancer remains a leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide and continues to impose substantial clinical and economic burdens. Beyond tumor-intrinsic oncogenic drivers, disease progression and therapy response are shaped by the tumor microenvironment (TME), including immune cells, cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), endothelial cells, extracellular matrix, inflammatory mediators, etc. In lung cancer, chronic injury from tobacco smoke, airway disease, and treatment itself remodels local tissue programs that can either support antitumor immunity or promote immune exclusion, fibrosis, and metastatic seeding. Here, we analyze recent evidence linking lung tumorigenesis to TME ecology across histologies, with emphasis on CAF heterogeneity, spatial organization of immune niches, and the distinct microenvironments that govern organ-specific metastasis (including brain metastasis). We also evaluate emerging therapeutic strategies that aim to target or reprogram the TME, including perioperative immune checkpoint blockade, combined immunotherapy-radiotherapy approaches, and pathways such as IL-6 and TGF-Ξ² that coordinate immune suppression and stromal remodeling. Finally, we outline key gaps and potential future directions, such as longitudinal and spatial multi-omics, better biomarkers of stromal state, and trial designs that account for dynamic microenvironmental adaptation.
