Background: Collision tumors are rare clinical entities that two heterogeneous neoplasms are concurrently adjacent to each other at the same location. The association of a squamous cell carcinoma and a malignant adnexal tumor is even infrequent.
Case Presentation: The case of a 79-year-old woman having a slow-growing and painless tumor on the left lower eyelid was presented. The lesion, about 15 mm in diameter, was nodular, irregular, and yellow-discolored. Histopathologic and immunohistochemical findings disclosed concurrence of sebaceous carcinoma as well as squamous cell carcinoma in one specimen. Wide excision of the tumor with frozen section control and eyelid reconstruction were performed. Oncologic survey revealed no other lesion. At 6-month follow-up, no evidence of recurrence or metastasis was presented.
Conclusion: Collision tumor composed of sebaceous carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma in eyelid may be the first case described in the literature. For increasing accuracy of diagnosis and management, a thorough clinical examination and detailed histopathologic analysis, along with multidisciplinary discussion, are prerequisites.

January 2025
Department of Neurosurgery, National Cancer Center/National Clinical Research Center for Cancer/Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, No 17 Panjiayuan Nanli, Chaoyang District, Beijing, 100021, People's Republic of China.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate CTF1 expression in glioma, its relationship to patient prognosis and the tumor immune microenvironment, and effects on glioma phenotypes to identify a new therapeutic target for treating glioma precisely.
Methods: We initially assessed the expression of CTF1, a member of the IL-6 family, in glioma, using bioinformatics tools and publicly available databases. Furthermore, we examined the correlation between CTF1 expression and tumor prognosis, DNA methylation patterns, m6A-related genes, potential biological functions, the immune microenvironment, and genes associated with immune checkpoints.

Purpose: Based on the demonstration of a circadian rhythm in the human oral mucosa cell cycle, with most cells in the G2/M phase in the afternoon and at night, the present study evaluated the severity of acute radiation esophagitis and treatment outcomes in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients receiving radiotherapy (RT) in the daytime versus in the evening.
Methods: From the 488 eligible patients of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma receiving concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT), 369 patients received RT in the daytime (before 19:00) and 119 patients received RT in the evening (after 19:00). The grades of radiation esophagitis (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.
Development of a prognostic nomogram and risk stratification system for elderly patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma undergoing definitive radiotherapy: a multicenter retrospective analysis (3JECROG R-03 A).

Department of Radiation Oncology, Clinical Oncology School of Fujian Medical University, Fujian Cancer Hospital, No. 420, Fuma Road, Jinan District, Fuzhou City, Fujian Province, People's Republic of China.
Background: Our goal is to develop a nomogram model to predict overall survival (OS) for elderly esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients receiving definitive radiotherapy (RT) or concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CRT), aiding clinicians in personalized treatment planning with a risk stratification system.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 718 elderly ESCC patients treated with RT or CRT at 10 medical centers (3JECROG) from January 2004 to November 2016. We identified independent prognostic factors using univariate and multifactorial Cox regression to construct a nomogram model.
Identification of cancer cell-intrinsic biomarkers associated with tumor progression and characterization of SFTA3 as a tumor suppressor in lung adenocarcinomas.

Department of Immunology, Medical School of Nantong University, 19 Qixiu Road, Nantong, 226000, China.
Background: Recent advancements in contemporary therapeutic approaches have increased the survival rates of lung cancer patients; however, the long-term benefits remain constrained, underscoring the pressing need for novel biomarkers. Surfactant-associated 3 (SFTA3), a long non-coding RNA predominantly expressed in normal lung epithelial cells, plays a crucial role in lung development. Nevertheless, its function in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remains inadequately understood.

Background: Esophageal ultrasound with bronchoscope fine needle aspiration (EUS-B-FNA) is a valuable tool for the diagnosis and staging of lung cancer, complementing endobronchial lung ultrasound (EBUS). While generally considered safe, there is a notable lack of comprehensive knowledge within the interventional pulmonology community regarding potential complications.
Case Presentation: We present a case involving a 66-year-old male with squamous cell lung carcinoma undergoing mediastinal staging.
