Article Synopsis
- Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common type of skin cancer, arising from the basal layer of the epidermis, and its treatment depends on various factors like tumor characteristics and patient attributes.
- Surgical treatments like standard excision and Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) are primary options that confirm tumor removal, while other therapies may be considered for specific conditions or patient concerns.
- The range of treatment methods for BCC includes not just surgery, but also radiation, immunotherapy, laser treatments, and targeted therapies, showcasing advances in how this cancer can be managed.
Article Synopsis
- cSCC (cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma) is becoming more common due to increased lifespans and better survival rates for associated risk factors, with mortality rates surpassing melanoma in the U.S. and nearing those of melanoma globally.!* -
- The review discusses advancements in cSCC management, including better risk assessment, new treatment options, and improved prevention strategies, particularly through immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) targeting PD-1 and PD-L1.!* -
- ICIs have shown promising results in treating advanced cSCC, offering patients reduced toxicity compared to traditional chemotherapy, longer-lasting responses after treatment, and improved survival rates; ongoing research continues to explore new clinical trials that may shape future management of c
Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a highly lethal cutaneous carcinoma, which in ~80% of cases in the USA is aetiologically linked to Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV). Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) can successfully treat ~50% of patients with metastatic MCC, but some MCCs are refractory to ICIs, possibly due to altered DNA damage response (DDR). Selinexor, an anticancer therapy that is currently approved in combination with chemotherapy for multiple myeloma, downregulates the small T and large T tumour antigens in MCC through selective inhibition of nuclear exportin 1 (XPO1).

Methods: A non-controlled interventional study was performed prospectively and retrospectively between January 2012 and June 2018. The study sample includes 84 patients who underwent live donor renal transplantation in the presence of multiple arteries (RAs) and veins (RVs) at Viet Duc Hospital.
Introduction: Neurogenic tumors in the mediastinum account for approximately 20-30% of all types of mediastinal tumors in adults. This pathology is usually benign and has no or very few symptoms. Schwannoma rarely involves the phrenic nerve.

Methods: The study included consecutive patients with isolated aortic valve disease who underwent Ozaki's procedure in our hospital between June 2017 and August 2019. Aortic valve leaflets were reconstructed with autologous pericardium using Ozaki's procedure.
Background: Mediastinal mature teratomas are rare tumors with diverse surgical approaches. The aim of this study is to review our experience of thoracoscopic surgery management in patients with teratomas.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 28 consecutive patients with mediastinal mature teratomas who underwent thoracoscopic surgery at Viet Duc University Hospital from January 2008 to August2018.
