Article Synopsis
- The study discusses a rare case where an intracranial epidermoid cyst transformed into malignant squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in a 47-year-old woman, leading to severe neurological symptoms like double vision and memory loss.
- Whole exome sequencing was performed on the patient, revealing two significant genetic mutations in the GJB2 and TLR2 genes that may contribute to the development of the SCC.
- The findings highlight the potential importance of these genes in understanding and treating SCC and support whole exome sequencing as a valuable tool for identifying genetic factors in complex diseases.
Background: This study aims to analyze the prognostic significance of the metastatic lymph node (mLN) size in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients receiving chemoradiotherapy (CRT) to provide some information for the optimization of clinical nodal (cN) staging.
Methods: A retrospective study with 325 NSCLC patients was conducted between January 2011 and December 2018 at two participating institutes. We evaluated the potential relationship between the mLN size and the survival to propose a potential revised nodal (rN) staging.
