Article Synopsis
- Human cancer cells can influence nearby and distant cells, potentially leading to tumor growth by passing along oncogenes or inhibitors of tumor suppressor genes.
- The study aimed to see if serum from metastatic cancer patients could cause neoplastic transformation in various human cell types, including embryonic kidney cells, embryonic stem cells, mesenchymal stem cells, and liver fibroblasts.
- Results showed that HEK293 cells exposed to cancer patient serum exhibited increased growth and signs of transformation, while other cell types like hMSCs and hALFs did not show these changes; hESCs maintained their differentiation potential despite treatment.
Objective: To report a case of an infertile man with nonobstructive azoospermia who underwent simultaneous radical orchiectomy for testicular cancer and testicular sperm extraction (TESE) for preservation of fertility.
Design: Case report and literature review.
Setting: University teaching hospital.
Background: There is a growing appreciation for radio-sensitiser use in multi-modal cancer treatment models. Squamous cell anal carcinoma (SCAC) is a rare gastrointestinal tumour traditionally treated with concurrent chemotherapy and radiation. Cetuximab, an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor, has demonstrated significant efficacy when combined with radiation in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SccH&N).

Objectives: To evaluate, first in 1999, the quality of surgical pathology reports for segmental breast resections for cancer in Quebec hospitals.
Introduction: Malignant mesothelioma involving the tunica vaginalis is an extremely rare tumor.
Case: We describe a case of a 39-year-old man who initially presented with discomfort in the left testis and underwent resection of a hydrocele in the left testis. A pathology examination of a frozen section of a lesion on the tunica identified the lesion as mesothelioma, which was confirmed by a second pathology examination.
