Recent progress in polychemotherapy employed in the treatment of gastrointestinal lymphomas has markedly improved prognosis. Between 1980 and 1986, 22 patients with malignant lymphomas of the gastrointestinal tract were treated at the Department of Surgery at the Hanusch Medical Center, in cooperation with the Department of Hematology and Oncology. 19 patients underwent surgery. The average observation time was 29 months. The rate of survival after 36 months was 64% in the entire patient population. Palliative-surgical interventions combined with chemotherapy equally produced satisfactory results.

Background: Regional lymph node (LN) status is a key prognostic factor in oesophageal cancer (OeC). Tumour-derived antigens can activate immune reactions in LNs, potentially reflecting the host's anti-tumour immune response. It remains unclear whether this response is homogeneous across all tumour negative LNs (LNneg) within individual OeC patients.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to compare plasma glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2) concentrations in cats with chronic enteropathies (CE) with those of healthy cats.
Methods: Nineteen client-owned cats with a histopathologic diagnosis of either idiopathic chronic enteropathy (CIE) or low-grade lymphoma and six healthy client-owned cats were enrolled in a prospective study between 2 December 2021 and 9 June 2023. Fasted and postprandial plasma GLP-2 concentrations were measured via ELISA in CE cats at the time gastrointestinal biopsies were obtained and before CE treatment.

Department of Hematology, Linyi People's Hospital, Linyi, Shandong, China.
Background: Primary cardiac lymphoma (PCL) is an exceedingly uncommon type of lymphoma that primarily affects the heart and/or pericardium, or manifests through cardiac symptoms due to myocardial infiltration. The infrequency of PCL, coupled with its non-specific clinical presentations, often complicates early diagnosis. This study aims to fill the existing gap in clinical knowledge regarding PCL by detailing a case of PCL and examining its clinical features, auxiliary examinations, treatment approaches, and prognostic outcomes, thereby facilitating early detection and enhancing patient care.
