"You matter": patients perceptions and disparities about cancer care and telehealth during and after COVID-19 pandemic.

Purpose: Disparities in cancer care have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of this study is to establish how telehealth mitigated the effect of COVID-19 on the healthcare sector and to identify potential disparities in perception and experience with telehealth in cancer care during and after the pandemic.

Methods: We identified individuals with an established cancer diagnosis who received treatment at a comprehensive academic cancer center with a diverse patient population between 2019 and 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic.

An Atypical relapsing follicular lymphoma to composite Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Composite lymphoma is defined as two or more lymphomas with distinct morphological and immunophenotypical characteristics synchronously diagnosed at the same anatomical site. Composite lymphoma is rare, and the most common combination is follicular lymphoma (FL) associated with diffuse large B cell lymphoma, followed by FL associated with classic Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL). Histologically, composite lymphomas display a mixed pattern or distinct zonal distribution of each lymphoma component.

Geographic Origin may Affect Outcomes for Hispanic Patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer in the United States.

Background: Social determinants of health thoroughly explored in the literature include insurance status, race, and ethnicity. There are over 50 million self-identifying Hispanics in the United States. This, however, represents a heterogeneous population.

Sotorasib as First-Line Treatment for Advanced KRAS G12C-Mutated Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma: A Case Report.

Mutations in the gene are the most common gain-of-function mutations found in lung adenocarcinomas. The most common mutation, KRAS G12C, is present in 13% of lung adenocarcinomas. Sotorasib (AMG-510) is an irreversible small molecule inhibitor targeting KRAS G12C.

Massive Presentation of a Neglected Basal Cell Ulcer on the Forehead and Outcome With Radiation Therapy: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) of the scalp is the most common cancer of the skin and is locally invasive. The patched/hedgehog intracellular signaling pathway is responsible for regulating cell growth and tumor formation by inactivating mutation of protein patched homolog 1 (PTCH1) or activating mutation of Smoothened (SMOm). BCC can cause significant morbidity from local destruction if neglected.

Acute Severe Seronegative Autoimmune Hepatitis With Undiagnosed Graves' Disease.

Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a progressive inflammatory condition hypothesized to be a T-lymphocyte (T-cell)-mediated immune response that commonly affects females more than males. Given its proposed mechanism associated with immune response, it is more likely to present with other autoimmune conditions, particularly autoimmune disorders associated with the thyroid. AIH can be difficult to diagnose as it is a diagnosis of exclusion.

A Rare Case of Primary Rectal Squamous Cell Carcinoma and the Use of Cytokeratin Markers.

Lower gastrointestinal cancers are commonly adenocarcinoma of the colon and rectum and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the anus. Rectal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a rare gastrointestinal tract malignancy, as rectal SCC is assumed to be from the migration of anal squamous cells. However, primary rectal SCC is rarer.

Retrospective analysis of patients with carcinoma cervix in a rural/semi-urban setting in Western India.

Objectives: To compare the presentation of cervical cancer and the treatment modalities received by the patients at a semi-urban/rural area of Western India with that of published literature from urban centers.

Materials And Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients with cervical cancer who presented at a semi-urban/rural cancer center between 2010 and 2013. A total of 141 patients with the median age of 51 years (25-81) were studied.
