A 59-year-old woman presented to The University of South Alabama, Mobile, Ala, with the complaint of shortness of breath. A chest radiograph showed bilateral nodules and interstitial infiltrates. The diagnosis of lymphoma was suggested on bronchial brush smears. Biopsy revealed a multifocal centrocyte-like lymphoid infiltrate involving the bronchial walls with lymphoepithelial lesions. The lymphocytes were positive for CD19, CD20, and CD22. A diagnosis of pulmonary lymphoma of the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue type was established and the patient responded to chemotherapy treatment. Over the following 5 years, she suffered at least 2 recurrences involving the lung and breast for which she received additional treatment.

Background: Acute systemic inflammation affects many organs and it occurs in a wide range of conditions such as acute lung injury (ALI). Inflammation-triggered oxidative pathways together with the caspase activation seen in ALI, result in apoptosis. Dapagliflozin (DPG) is an agent that is known to have oxidative stress-reducing and anti-inflammatory effects in many tissues.

Background: While prosthesis-associated malignancies have been acknowledged, awareness among surgeons and patients in the ophthalmologic field remains limited, despite the frequent occurrence of prosthesis-related surgeries. We aim to address this gap through a scoping review of malignancies following ophthalmologic surgeries involving various foreign device/prosthesis/implants.

Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, we conducted a review using PubMed and Embase for studies on cancer and ophthalmic prostheses/implants.

Unlabelled: Immune escape is a critical hallmark of cancer progression and underlies resistance to multiple immunotherapies. However, it remains unclear when the genetic events associated with immune escape occur during cancer development. Here, we integrate functional genomics studies of immunomodulatory genes with a tumor evolution reconstruction approach to infer the evolution of immune escape across 38 cancer types from the Pan-Cancer Analysis of Whole Genomes dataset.
