A Rare Case of Spindle Cell Sarcoma With Rare Asymptomatic Cerebellar Metastasis.

Sarcomas are one of the rarest cancers, occurring in less than 1% of all adult malignancies. Spindle cell sarcomas are one subset of soft tissue sarcomas that are even less commonly reported in the literature due to the scarcity of cases, especially with the presence of brain metastases. We present a case of an adult male who presented with non-specific exertional dyspnea and chest pain, which was found to have spindle cell sarcoma with cerebellar metastasis.

A Rare Case of Splenic and Pulmonary Metastases From Renal Cell Carcinoma.

Renal cell carcinoma commonly spreads to the lungs, bones, and liver, but splenic involvement has been rare. When metastasis does occur, patients are usually asymptomatic but may present with weight loss, fatigue, or abdominal pain. We present a case of a patient who had known renal cell cancer status post-total nephrectomy who, due to COVID, had delayed surveillance scans and was found to have a recurrent mass in the nephrectomy bed with splenic and pulmonary metastasis.

Gemcitabine, paclitaxel, and radiation for locally advanced pancreatic cancer: a Phase I trial.

Purpose: To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose-limiting toxicities of gemcitabine, paclitaxel, and concurrent radiation for pancreatic cancer.

Methods And Materials: Twenty patients with locally unresectable pancreatic cancer were studied. The initial dose level was gemcitabine 75 mg/m(2) and paclitaxel 40 mg/m(2) weekly for 6 weeks.
