Adenosquamous carcinoma of the head and neck is a rare cancer associated with poor prognosis. Histologically, it is identified through the presence of both adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, although it may be difficult to diagnose from initial endoscopic biopsies. We report a case of adenosquamous carcinoma of the glottis in an 82-year-old female patient who presented with progressive hoarseness of voice and in whom initial biopsies had shown only moderate to severe dysplasia. This is the first case in the literature of a primary adenosquamous carcinoma of the glottis managed successfully with a CO laser left type Va cordectomy. The patient remained disease-free 28 months postoperatively.

Introduction And Importance: Adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC) of the colon is a rare malignancy, representing approximately 0.06 % of colorectal cancers (CRC). It is characterized by the coexistence of adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma components.

Organoids were successfully established from primary tumor and its metastatic lymph nodes of a patient. These organoids faithfully replicated tumor pathology and genetic characteristics. Organoid-based drug screening was conducted, which revealed significant difference in sensitivity to drugs between organoids dervived from primary tumor versus metastatic lymph nodes.

(1) Low-grade adenosquamous carcinoma (LGASC) is a rare subtype of metaplastic breast carcinoma (MpBC), accounting for fewer than 0.05% of breast cancer cases. Unlike the typically aggressive nature of MpBCs, LGASC is an indolent tumor with an excellent prognosis.

Objectives: The accurate assessment of lymph node metastasis (LNM) can facilitate clinical decision-making on radiotherapy or radical hysterectomy (RH) in cervical adenocarcinoma (AC)/adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC). This study aims to develop a deep learning radiomics nomogram (DLRN) to preoperatively evaluate LNM in cervical AC/ASC.
Materials And Methods: A total of 652 patients from a multicenter were enrolled and randomly allocated into primary, internal, and external validation cohorts.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of Fuzheng Yiai Decoction (FZYA) on epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) drug resistance in lung adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC). The expression of thyroid transcription factor 1 (TTF1) and p63 in tumor cells was observed by immunofluorescence staining. Meanwhile, 25 nude mice successfully inoculated with the human lung ASC cell line NCI-H596 were randomly divided into five groups, namely, the model, gefitinib, low-, medium-, and high-dose FZYA with gefitinib groups.
