This report describes a relatively asymptomatic 52-year-old man who had a markedly enlarged cardiac silhouette on chest roentgenogram when first seen. Clinical studies confirmed the presence of a mass, and thoracotomy revealed a huge intrathoracic tumor. The lesion was interpreted as an intrapulmonary hamartoma that had undergone malignant degeneration.

Background: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is a prevalent and aggressive gastrointestinal tumor, particularly in East Asia. However, there is a lack of consensus on the long-term survival outcomes of intrathoracic anastomosis and cervical anastomosis following esophagectomy. This study aims to provide a comprehensive summary of the long-term survival outcomes of these two anastomosis techniques.

Background: Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) revolutionized the molecular diagnostics of lung cancer by enabling non-invasive, sensitive identification of actionable mutations. However, ctDNA analysis may be challenging due to tumor shedding variability, leading to false negative results. This study aims to understand the determinants for ctDNA shedding based on clinical characteristics of lung cancer patients, for a better interpretation of false negative results to be considered when ordering ctDNA analysis for clinical practice.
