Molecular characterization of tumors is essential to identify predictive biomarkers that inform treatment decisions and improve precision immunotherapy development and administration. However, challenges such as the heterogeneity of tumors and patient responses, limited efficacy of current biomarkers, and the predominant reliance on single-omics data, have hindered advances in accurately predicting treatment outcomes. Standard therapy generally applies a "one size fits all" approach, which not only provides ineffective or limited responses, but also an increased risk of off-target toxicities and acceleration of resistance mechanisms or adverse effects.

Objective: The invasiveness of pituitary neuroendocrine tumor is an important basis for formulating individualized treatment plans and improving the prognosis of patients. Radiomics can predict invasiveness preoperatively. To investigate the value of multiparameter magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) radiomics in predicting pituitary neuroendocrine tumor invasion into the cavernous sinus (CS) before surgery.

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is an epithelial malignancy commonly associated with Epstein-Barr virus infection. While bone, liver, and lung metastases are well-documented, central nervous system (CNS) involvement, particularly spinal and meningeal metastases, is extremely rare. We present a 41-year-old male with nasal obstruction and diplopia, diagnosed with locally advanced NPC.

Background: We here investigated the value of imaging examination in evaluating tumor remission-based surgery in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), who had undergone neoadjuvant immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy (NICC).

Methods: HNSCC patients who underwent NICC and surgery from May 2021 to September 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients had to undergo imaging examination evaluation, including enhanced computed tomography (CT) and enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging before and after NICC.

The investigation of changes in the membrane of cancer cells holds great potential for biomedical applications. Malignant cells exhibit overexpression of receptors, which can be used for targeted drug delivery, therapy, and bioimaging. Targeted bioimaging is one the most accurate imaging methods with a non-invasive nature, allowing for localization of the malignant cell without disrupting cellular integrity.
