Dermoscopy of skin metastases in advanced cancer-systemic (visceral, hematologic) and cutaneous.

Introduction: Skin metastases arise in 10% of cancer patients, but standardized dermoscopy diagnostic criteria for skin metastases remain poor. This study's objective was to analyze the dermoscopy features of skin metastases from advanced systemic and cutaneous cancers.

Methods: A retrospective study on 715 dermoscopy images of skin metastases from 33 patients with various primary cancers (breast, ovary, melanoma, non-melanoma skin cancer, and chronic leukemia) attending two academic centers between 2013 and 2023 was performed.

Challenges and Limitations of Endocrine Toxicity Evaluation in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients Treated with Immunotherapy-Retrospective Study from a Tertiary-Level Hospital in Romania.

(1) Background: The endocrine system has become a prominent target to autoimmune damage during treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in cancer patients. Real-world data regarding endocrine immune-related adverse events (irAEs) are needed to explore their impact in cancer patients. An analysis was conducted to evaluate endocrine irAEs caused by ICIs, besides the challenges and limitations of daily medical practice in oncology in Romania.

Adjuvant chemotherapy for radically resected non-small cell lung cancer: a retrospective analysis of 311 consecutively treated patients.

Background: The impact of adjuvant chemotherapy (CT) in the management of resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is highly debated. The aim of the study was to evaluate the outcome of this category of patients, treated at the Military Hospital Bucharest (surgery) and Institute of Oncology Bucharest (CT).

Patients And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the survival data according to various patients' characteristics, the corresponding pattern of relapses, along with the data concerning the CT program.
