Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common malignancy that results in venous tumor thrombosis. Transitional cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis with renal or vena cava thrombus is extremely rare. Fewer than 40 cases have been reported. We report a similar case of a patient who underwent radical nephrectomy with a preoperative diagnosis of RCC.

Metastasis in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma has been associated with a poor prognosis. However, sensitive and reliable tests for monitoring their occurrence are unavailable, with the exception of PET-CT. Circulating tumor cells and cell-free DNA have emerged as promising biomarkers for determining treatment efficacy and as prognostic predictors in solid tumors such as breast cancer and colorectal cancer.

Chemotherapy is widely used to treat lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) patients comprehensively. Considering the limitations of chemotherapy due to drug resistance and other issues, it is crucial to explore the impact of chemotherapy and immunotherapy on these aspects. In this study, tumor samples from nine LUAD patients, of which four only received surgery and five received neoadjuvant chemotherapy, were subjected to scRNA-seq analysis.

The aim of our research was to explore the character of autophagy related 12 (ATG12) in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). A total of 145 HCC tissues as well as paired adjacent normal tissues were collected, then immunohistochemistry was conducted to access the expression of ATG12. HCC cells were transfected with pcDNA ATG12 or si-ATG12 to overexpress ATG12 or downregulate ATG12.

Objective: To explore the clinical efficiency of using the sentinel lymph node (SLN) imaging agent Tc-rituximab for lymphoscintigraphy and SLN biopsy (SLNB) in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 23 patients with OSCC who underwent Tc-rituximab lymphoscintigraphy and SLNB. The cohort comprised 16 men (69.

Objectives: To establish a spectral CT-based nomogram for predicting the response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).
Methods: This retrospective study included 172 patients with ESCC who underwent spectral CT scans before NAC followed by resection. Based on postoperative tumor regression grades (TRG), 34% (58) of patients were responsive (TRG1) and 66% (114) were non-responsive (TRG2-3).
