A 69-year-old female visited our hospital with a chief complaint of macroscopic hematuria. A non-papillary broad-based tumor was found by cystoscopy. Excretory urography and computerized tomography revealed a large invasive tumor in the left wall of the urinary bladder. The histopathological diagnosis of bladder tumor obtained by transuretheral resection (TUR-Bt) was a sarcomatoid carcinoma composed of a urothelial cell carcinoma. One month after TUR-Bt, abdominal wall metastases were found. Thus total 50Gy of irradiation therapy was performed. However brain metastasis was also found and she died 3 months after TUR-Bt.

The benefit of adjuvant radiation therapy (RT) in adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is not well characterized for those who undergo initial R0 surgical resection. Patients in the NCDB who underwent R0 resection were placed into two cohorts - those who underwent adjuvant RT and those who did not. 388 patients were identified with 51 receiving RT.

Background: Intraoperative ultrasound-guided breast-conserving surgery guarantees real-time direct visualization of tumor and resection margins. We compared surgical, oncologic, and cosmetic outcomes between intraoperative ultrasound-guided breast-conserving surgery and traditional (palpation- or wire-guided) surgery across all breast cancer lesion types.

Methods: This prospective observational cohort study was conducted at the Veneto Institute of Oncology between January 2021 and October 2022.

Objective: This study aimed to introduce and evaluate a novel software-based system, BioTrace, designed for real-time monitoring of thermal ablation tissue damage during image-guided radiofrequency ablation for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Methods: BioTrace utilizes a proprietary algorithm to analyze the temporo-spatial behavior of thermal gas bubble activity during ablation, as seen in conventional B-mode ultrasound imaging. Its predictive accuracy was assessed by comparing the ablation zones it predicted with those annotated by radiologists using contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) 24 hours post-treatment, considered the gold standard.

Despite substantial advances in the antitumor effects of annonaceous acetogenins (ACGs), the absence of a defined biological action mechanism remains a major barrier to their clinical application. Here, it is found that squamocin effectively depletes both EZH2 and MYC in multiple cancer cell lines, including head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, and gastric and colorectal cancer, demonstrating potent efficacy in suppressing these in vivo tumor models. Through the combination of surface plasmon resonance (SPR), differential scanning fluorimetry (DSF), and cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA), heat shock protein 90α (HSP90α) is identified as the direct binding target of squamocin.

Primary hepatocellular carcinoma (PHC) is the sixth most common cancer and the third leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) accounts for 75%-85% of PHC. LARP3 is aberrantly expressed in multiple cancers.
