Published: June 2004

Background: Secretory carcinoma of the male breast (juvenile carcinoma) is a rare neoplasm. Only a few cases have been reported in the literature.

Case Report: We report here a case in a 17-year old male presenting with recurrent breast swelling.

Conclusions: Though considered an indolent neoplasm, secretory carcinoma does metastasise to lymph nodes and recur after local excision. Surgery in form of mastectomy with axillary clearance is the treatment of choice.

Background: Ionizing radiation (IR) is a well-known inducer of cellular senescence and the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). SASP factors play dual roles in cancer, either promoting or inhibiting its development. This study investigates IR-induced SASP factors specifically secreted by renal cortical epithelial (RCE) cells and their role in promoting renal cell carcinoma (RCC) progression.

Adrenocortical carcinomas are rare but aggressive tumors that are frequently discovered as incidentalomas. Secretory tumors often lead to endocrine abnormalities, namely cushingoid features, virilization, or feminization. Non-functioning tumors, on the other hand, can be completely dormant with an insidious course or cause malaise, weight loss, abdominal pain, etc.

Background: Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a major risk for development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a frequent malignancy with a poor survival rate. HBV infection results in significant endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR) signaling, a contributing factor to carcinogenesis. As part of the UPR, the ER-associated degradation (ERAD) pathway is responsible for removing the burden of misfolded secretory proteins, to re-establish cellular homeostasis.
