Brain metastasis has emerged as a significant challenge in the comprehensive management of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), particularly in those harboring driver gene mutations. Traditional treatments such as radiotherapy and surgery offer limited clinical benefits and are often accompanied by cognitive dysfunction and a decline in quality of life. In recent years, novel small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors targeting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), and other pathways have been developed, effectively penetrating the blood-brain barrier while enhancing intracranial drug concentrations and improving patient outcomes.

Background: This study aims to explore the value of habitat-based magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) radiomics for predicting the origin of brain metastasis (BM).
Purpose: To investigate whether habitat-based radiomics can identify the metastatic tumor type of BM and whether an imaging-based model that integrates the volume of peritumoral edema (VPE) can enhance predictive performance.
Methods: A primary cohort was developed with 384 patients from two centers, which comprises 734 BM lesions.

Purpose: While previous research has highlighted treatment delay inequities in early-stage breast cancer and identified potential contributing factors, there is limited research on disparities in treatment delays for metastatic breast cancer (MBC). This study investigates these disparities in MBC treatment initiation, aiming to identify key factors crucial for improving timely access to care.
Method: Nationwide Flatiron Health electronic health records-derived deidentified database, including females aged 18+ diagnosed with either De novo or relapsed MBC in the U.

Introduction: Lung cancer is a major cause of cancer-related deaths, with 2 million new cases annually. Bronchopulmonary neuroendocrine tumors (BP-NETs) comprise about 20 % of lung cancers, including typical carcinoid tumors (TC). While tobacco is a primary risk factor, non-tobacco factors also play a role.

Background: Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematological malignancy characterized by bone marrow infiltration and osteolytic tumor formation. Despite advancements in the treatment of this disease, MM remains incurable and often leads to complications, such as multiple myeloma bone disease (MMBD). Surgical intervention is frequently necessary to manage symptoms associated with bone disease, including pain and fractures.
