Published: October 2003

The metastasis sites of colon cancer are the liver, lungs, bones, peritoneum, and lymph nodes. Lymph node recurrences, however, are seldom resected metachronously. We report here a case of en-bloc resection of paraaortic lymph node recurrence together with the invaded abdominal aorta, left kidney and ureter 4 years after curative resection of sigmoid colon cancer. Combined resection of the metastatic lymph nodes and the abdominal aorta would be an even more radical procedure and treatment for cancer because of lymphatic spread around the aorta. The slow growth of the cancer might justify this aggressive resection. This is the first report of resection of late paraaortic lymph node metastasis and simultaneous abdominal aortic graft replacement.

Immune-mediated bone regeneration driven by bone biomaterials offers a therapeutic strategy for repairing bone defects. Among 2D nanomaterials, TiCT MXenes have garnered substantial attention for their potential in tissue regeneration. This investigation concentrates on the role of MXene nanocomposites in modulating the immune microenvironment within bone defects to facilitate bone tissue restoration.

Objectives: To assess the usefulness of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in patients with early-stage oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).

Materials And Methods: Seventy-five patients (mean age 62 years) diagnosed with cT1-2 N0 underwent SLNB with Tc, lymphoscintigraphy/SPECT-CT, and gamma probe detection with intraoperative histological examination of the resected sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs). Elective neck dissection was performed during the same surgical procedure of primary tumor resection when malignant deposits were detected microscopically.

Elevated LINC00115 expression correlates with aggressive endometrial cancer phenotypes via JAK/STAT pathway modulation.

This study systematically explores the oncogenic role of the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) LINC00115 in endometrial cancer (EC) and reveals its unique mechanism in promoting proliferation, invasion, and metastasis via the JAK/STAT signaling pathway. LINC00115 is significantly upregulated in EC tissues and closely associated with advanced TNM staging and lymph node metastasis. Functional assays showed that knockdown of LINC00115 suppressed EC cell proliferation, invasion, and metastasis, while overexpression enhanced these malignant behaviors.
