The expression of estrogen, progesterone, and HER2 receptors in breast cancer cells helps guide treatment and predict outcomes. When the status of these receptors is heterogeneous, it makes treatment planning more complex. We present the case of a 72-year-old woman with bilateral breast cancer with heterogenous receptor status and subsequent challenges in management.

However, the underlying molecular mechanisms of breast tumorigenesis have not been fully elucidated. By consulting the literature, we discovered that the TIMM8A gene could affect oxidative stress and apoptosis in patients with Mohr-Tranebjærg syndrome.

Background: Breast cancer (BC) is increasingly becoming the primary reason for death in women, which sounded the alarm. Thus, finding a novel management target for BC is imminent.
Materials And Methods: The data on gene expression and clinicopathological characteristics were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA).
Background: Thyroid nodules, although mostly benign and symptomless, have a small chance of being cancerous, necessitating accurate diagnosis. This study aims to develop and validate a nomogram for differentiating malignant and non-malignant thyroid nodules in individuals with type 2 diabetes.
Methods: The study included 484 patients with both thyroid nodules and type 2 diabetes who underwent thyroid gland lobectomy at Wenzhou Medical University Hospital.
