Carcinoid tumors of the lung are an uncommon malignancy that can rarely lead to carcinoid syndrome. Carcinoid tumors represent less than 1% of all lung cancers. This case describes a rare presentation in which a previously asymptomatic woman began to experience tachycardia, shortness of breath, and anxiety after biopsy of a pulmonary carcinoid tumor.

We revealed distinctive genomic alterations of Indian NSCLC patients, thereby providing vital molecular insights for implementation of precision therapies.
Methods: We analyzed the genomic profiles of 325 lung adenocarcinoma and 81 lung squamous carcinoma samples from Indian patients using targeted sequencing of 50 cancer related genes.
Article Synopsis
- * The survey received an 85% response rate from 98 uropathologists, revealing strong agreement on distinguishing between luminal and basal UC types, but varied opinions on the importance of certain genetic tests like FGFR3 and TERT promoter mutations.
- * Most uropathologists acknowledged the aggressive nature of tumors with micropapillary features and favored further evaluation and specific molecular testing for aggressive subtypes, indicating a need for improved consensus in UC classification and treatment strategies.
Background: Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NACRT) using CROSS protocol is currently the treatment of choice for esophageal cancer (EC). Tumor response grade (TRG) is a mandatory reporting criterion in most guidelines. One of the most commonly used TRG systems is the modified Ryan system.
