EGFR plus MET Targeted Therapies for Overcoming Treatment Resistance in EGFR-Mutant Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Case Report.

Introduction: Oncogenic-addicted non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has emerged as the most prevalent form of lung cancer, presenting a dynamic landscape in treatment modalities. Among these, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant NSCLC remains the predominant oncogenic mutation, particularly prevalent in regions such as Asia and Latin America.

Case Presentation: This case study highlights the experience of a woman diagnosed with EGFR-sensitive (del exon 19) mutant NSCLC who demonstrated an extended duration of response to third-generation EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy.

Expression of Programmed Death Ligand 1 in Breast Cancer in Mexican Women.

Background: Breast cancer is one of the most common malignant forms of neoplasia worldwide; programmed death protein 1 (PD-1), an inhibitory receptor of T lymphocytes, and its ligand programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1), play an important role in the ability of tumor cells to evade the host's immune system.

Methods: We conducted a descriptive, observational study using retrospective data and an open evaluation using immunohistochemistry to determine the general prevalence of PD-L1 expression in 63 women with breast cancer who underwent a modified radical mastectomy, or quadrantectomy, with axillary lymph node removal.

Results: The prevalence of PD-L1 expression was 32% in patients with breast cancer treated with radical mastectomy.

Neuroendocrine Tumor of the Common Bile Duct: Case Report.

Carcinoma of the extrahepatic biliary tract accounts for <2% of all cancers. Neuroendocrine tumor of the extrahepatic bile duct is very rare, and there are <200 cases reported since 1959. The preoperative diagnosis is infrequent (5.

Impact of the Type of Analgesic Therapy on Postsurgical Complications of Patients with Kidney Cancer Undergoing Nephrectomy.

Background: The treatment of kidney cancer usually involves surgery, and in some cases systemic therapy. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly used to control postsurgical pain in patients undergoing nephrectomy for renal cancer. Nevertheless, the association between these drugs and adverse postsurgical outcomes, including deterioration of renal function, is not fully established.

Spontaneous regression as a 'burned-out' non-seminomatous testicular germ cell tumor: a case report and literature review.

Testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs) are the most frequent type of cancer in young adults. An exceptional event is the spontaneous regression (SR) of the primary tumor. Herein, we describe a burned-out non-seminomatous TGCT case and relevant literature review.
