Today, cancer has become one of the leading global tragedies. It occurs when a small number of cells in the body mutate, causing some of them to evade the body's immune system and proliferate uncontrollably. Even more irritating is the fact that patients with cancers frequently relapse after conventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy, leading to additional suffering.

Background: There is no consensus regarding the optimal regimen for metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (dmNPC). Locoregional intensity modulated radiotherapy (LRRT) following palliative chemotherapy (PCT) has been shown to prolong the overall survival (OS) and improve the progression-free survival (PFS) of patients with dmNPC, compared with PCT alone. However, patients with a high tumor burden do not benefit from additional LRRT, which inevitably results in toxicity.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has gained prominence in thyroid imaging, leveraging its non-ionizing radiation, high spatial resolution, multiparameter and multidirectional imaging. Few previous studies have investigated the evaluation of radiation-induced thyroid injury by MRI.

Older patients represent a unique and vulnerable subgroup, requiring careful consideration when determining treatment options. Treatment-related leukoencephalopathy is commonly observed in older patients months to years after receiving radiotherapy and/or methotrexate for primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL). Tirabrutinib is an orally available, highly selective, and potent second-generation Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor (BTKi) approved for treating recurrent/refractory PCNSL in Japan.

Microcystic adnexal carcinoma (MAC) is a rare, slow-growing, locally aggressive malignant, and recurring appendageal tumor. Prolonged UV exposure, immunosuppression, and radiotherapy are a few frequently associated risk factors. MAC classically presents as an asymptomatic skin coloured plaque on the face.
