Estrogen also protects cervical cancer cells from apoptosis, suggesting its role in the survival and persistence of cancer cells. CASE REPORT An 84-year-old woman with diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and stage III chronic renal failure was diagnosed with cervical squamous cell carcinoma, FIGO stage IB2.

The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical features and outcomes of elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) from a real word research. The clinical data of 223 consecutive elderly patients (aged ≥ 60 years) who were newly diagnosed with AML at our medical center between July 2017 and June 2022, including their clinical characteristics, genetic mutations, and survival outcomes, were retrospectively analyzed. Among the 223 patients (median age 67 years), 180 (80.

Case Presentation: At 78 years of age, a Japanese male patient was diagnosed with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (cT3N2M1 stage) and multiple brain metastases that were responsive to stereotactic radiation therapy followed by systemic combination induction therapy of pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib. Adverse events, including grade 3 hypertension, grade 2 eruption, and elevated grade 2 fever, were controlled by a dose reduction or suspension of drugs.
Background: Patients with secondary acute myeloid leukemia who previously received hypomethylating agents for prior myeloid neoplasms (HMA-sAML) face a dismal prognosis.
