Background: The interactions between cancer cells and tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) via microRNAs (miRNAs) play crucial roles in malignant potential and drug resistance. However, it remains unclear how lenvatinib-resistant hepatocellular carcinoma (LR HCC) promotes TAM tumor biology. Here we investigated the crosstalk between LR HCC cells and TAMs for cancer progression and lenvatinib resistance, focusing on an exosomal miRNA.

Case Presentation: Here, we report the case of a severe subcutaneous abscess on the back caused by .
Article Synopsis
- * Results showed that ADC values were significantly lower in advanced gallbladder cancer compared to benign and non-advanced tumors, suggesting a correlation between low ADC and increased cancer severity.
- * Additionally, lower ADC values predicted worse disease-free survival and overall survival, making them potential indicators for assessing tumor aggressiveness in gallbladder cancer.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the link between dermatophytosis of the feet (DPF) and acral melanoma of the foot (AMF), particularly in patients with diabetes, highlighting that persistent foot inflammation may be linked to cancer development.
- - A retrospective analysis of 114 Japanese patients found a significantly higher prevalence of DPF in the AMF group (60%) compared to the control group (29.8%), suggesting a strong association between DPF and AMF.
- - The presence of the hyperkeratotic type of DPF was particularly noted in AMF patients, indicating that this specific form of DPF may play a significant role in the pathogenesis of AMF.
