A 64-year-old man who suffered from colorectal cancer with multiple liver metastases underwent laparoscopic low anterior resection. He did not undergo partial liver resection. He was treated with mFOLFOX6 plus bevacizumab chemotherapy. The liver metastases had disappeared completely on Gd-EOB-DTPA(EOB)MRI after 6 courses of therapy with mFOLFOX6 plus bevacizumab. This chemotherapy was discontinued after 13 courses. At present, 86 months have passed since the laparoscopic low anterior resection. He is relapse-free and a long-term survivor.

Liver cancer multiomics reveals diverse protein kinase A disruptions convergently produce fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma.
Nat Commun

Laboratory of Cellular Biophysics, The Rockefeller University, New York, NY, USA.
Fibrolamellar Hepatocellular Carcinoma (FLC) is a rare liver cancer characterized by a fusion oncokinase of the genes DNAJB1 and PRKACA, the catalytic subunit of protein kinase A (PKA). A few FLC-like tumors have been reported showing other alterations involving PKA. To better understand FLC pathogenesis and the relationships among FLC, FLC-like, and other liver tumors, we performed a massive multi-omics analysis.

Medical Oncology, Institut de Cancérologie Strasbourg Europe (ICANS), Strasbourg, France.
Introduction: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized cancer therapy by enhancing the antitumor immune response. This case describes an 80-year-old male with synchronous multiple primary malignancies (MPMs), including lung metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC), and brain metastatic urothelial carcinoma, who was treated with dual ICI therapy.
Case Presentation: The patient, with a history of diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidaemia, well-differentiated neuroendocrine duodenal tumors and micronodular exogenous cirrhosis (Child-Pugh class A), presented with a non-invasive bladder carcinoma (pT1N0M0) resected endoscopically in December 2022.

The Affiliated Lihuili Hospital, Ningbo University, Ningbo, Zhejiang, 315000, China.
Background: This study aimed to construct, evaluate, and validate nomograms for breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS) and overall survival (OS) prediction in patients with HER2- overexpressing (HER2+) metastatic breast cancer (MBC).
Methods: The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database was used to select female patients diagnosed with HER2 + MBC between 2010 and 2015. These patients were distributed into training and validation groups (7:3 ratio).
Immunotherapy for lung adenocarcinoma patients with bone metastases: who really needs it.
Front Immunol
December 2024
Department of Radiotherapy, The First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University, Wenzhou, Zhejiang, China.
Background: Lung adenocarcinoma patients are often found to have developed bone metastases at the time of initial diagnosis. With the continuous development of technology, we have successfully entered the era of immunotherapy. This study aimed to determine the efficacy of immunotherapy in lung adenocarcinoma patients with bone metastases (LABM) through a multicenter retrospective analysis and to develop a novel tool to identify the population that could benefit most from immunotherapy.

Accurate imaging techniques are critical for staging, metastasis screening, treatment response assessment, and recurrence detection. Objective In this prospective study, we aimed to compare the sensitivity of whole-body diffusion-weighted imaging (WB-DWI) with positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in detecting metastases.
