Background: Extraneural metastasis of central nervous system tumors is generally rare and most often reported in glioblastomas and medulloblastomas, whereas oligodendrogliomas seem to have the lowest risk of extracranial metastasis. Given its infrequent occurrence, both the diagnosis and therapy of metastatic oligodendroglioma is often challenging.

Case Presentation: This case study presents an oligodendroglioma, the isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) mutant, 1p/19q-codeleted tumor with bone marrow metastasis.

Article Synopsis
  • Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a severe neurodegenerative disease that leads to the death of motor neurons, and its exact causes are largely unknown.
  • This study involved an integrated epigenomic analysis of blood samples from seven ALS patients, combining techniques like clinical exome sequencing and DNA methylation studies to uncover genetic and epigenetic changes related to the disease.
  • The findings aim to reveal new insights into individual and collective patient data, potentially guiding future research and the development of innovative treatments for ALS.

Objectives: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) stimulate antitumor immune responses and, in parallel, they might trigger autoimmune and other immunopathological mechanisms eventually leading to immune-related adverse events (irAE). In our study, we assessed patients with malignancies who underwent anti-PD-1 treatment at the University of Debrecen, Clinical Center.

Patients And Methods: Between June 2017 and May 2021, 207 patients started ICI treatment at our university.

Hereditary breast cancer is most commonly attributed to germline and gene variants. The vast majority of and mutation carriers are single heterozygotes, and double heterozygosity (DH) is a very rare finding. Here, we describe the case of a / double heterozygous female proband diagnosed with breast cancer.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the strategy of the cystic fibrosis newborn screening (CFNBS) programme in Hungary based on the results of the first year of screening. A combined immunoreactive trypsinogen (IRT) and pancreatitis-associated protein (PAP) CFNBS protocol (IRT/IRT×PAP/IRT) was applied with an IRT-dependent safety net (SN). Out of 88,400 newborns, 256 were tested screen-positive.
