Data of 13 patients with tumors of the locomotor system subjected to +interscapular-thoracic resection (ITR) are presented. Main technical aspects of ITR are described. Complications took place in 6 patients, including marginal necrosis of the skin in 4 patients. As a whole the 5-year survival made up 49.9% +/- 13.8%. Data are presented on rehabilitation measures which allow to widen the functional possibilities of the extremity.

Hydroxychloroquine prevents resistance and potentiates the antitumor effect of SHP2 inhibition in NF1-associated malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors.

Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) are aggressive sarcomas and the primary cause of mortality in patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). These malignancies develop within preexisting benign lesions called plexiform neurofibromas (PNs). PNs are solely driven by biallelic loss eliciting RAS pathway activation, and they respond favorably to MEK inhibitor therapy.

Objective: Tumor consistency, or fibrosity, affects the ability to optimally resect meningiomas, especially with recent trends evolving toward minimally invasive approaches. The authors' team previously validated a practical 5-point scale for intraoperative grading of meningioma consistency. The impact of meningioma consistency on surgical management and outcomes, however, has yet to be explored.

New College of Florida, Sarasota, FL, United States.
Background: Bangladesh and West Bengal, India, are 2 densely populated South Asian neighboring regions with many socioeconomic and cultural similarities. In dealing with breast cancer (BC)-related issues, statistics show that people from these regions are having similar problems and fates. According to the Global Cancer Statistics 2020 and 2012 reports, for BC (particularly female BC), the age-standardized incidence rate is approximately 22 to 25 per 100,000 people, and the age-standardized mortality rate is approximately 11 to 13 per 100,000 for these areas.

Department of Radiology, Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, CT.
Background: Vestibular schwannoma (VS) is a common intracranial tumor that affects patients' quality of life. Reliable imaging techniques for tumor volume assessment are essential for guiding management decisions. The study aimed to compare the ABC/2 method to the gold standard planimetry method for volumetric assessment of VS.
