When tissue is not the only issue: Poorly differentiated lung squamous-cell carcinoma with adrenal, costochondral, and cardiac metastases - case report.

Nonmelanoma skin cancer is the most common cancer in the world, and lung cancer is the leading cause of death from cancer. Histologically, squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the second most prevalent type of both skin and lung cancers. We report the case of a 38-year-old female with metastatic, poorly differentiated lung SCC detected on chest X-ray after she presented to the hospital with cough and dyspnea.

DUCHESS: an evaluation of the ductal carcinoma in situ score for decisions on radiotherapy in patients with low/intermediate-risk DCIS.

Background: Identification of women with DCIS who have a very low risk of local recurrence risk (LRR) after breast-conserving surgery (BCS) is needed to de-escalate therapy. We evaluated the impact of 10-year LRR estimates after BCS, calculated by the integration of a 12-gene molecular expression assay (Oncotype Breast DCIS Score) and clinicopathological features (CPFs), on its ability to change radiation oncologists' recommendations for RT after BCS for DCIS.

Methods: Prospective cohort study of women with DCIS treated with BCS.

Effect of Positron Emission Tomography Imaging in Women With Locally Advanced Cervical Cancer: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Importance: In women with locally advanced cancer of the cervix (LACC), staging defines disease extent and guides therapy. Currently, undetected disease outside the radiation field can result in undertreatment or, if disease is disseminated, overtreatment.

Objective: To determine whether adding fludeoxyglucose F 18 positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) to conventional staging with CT of the abdomen and pelvis affects therapy received in women with LACC.
