Hematological "masks" of malignant tumors of the internal organs are not infrequent in clinical practice. A total of 45 patients with malignant tumors of the internal organs (stomach-12, colon-9, liver-3, lungs-9, kidneys-6, pancreas-2, thyroid-2, bladder-1, prostate-1) were under observation. Hematological signs of bone marrow metastatic involvement were as follows: anemia (mainly hypochromic), leukemoid neutrophilic reaction, leukemoid reaction of myeloid type, erythrocytosis, thrombocytosis, plasmocyte bone marrow reaction. Early cancer diagnosis, especially in obscure peripheral blood changes, requires a complete all-round investigation of a patient including an analysis of clinico-anamnestic data, the use of radiographic and endoscopic methods, sternal puncture and trephine biopsy.

Background: Distinctive heterogeneity characterizes diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), one of the most frequent types of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Mitochondria have been demonstrated to be closely involved in tumorigenesis and progression, particularly in DLBCL.
Objective: The purposes of this study were to identify the prognostic mitochondria-related genes (MRGs) in DLBCL, and to develop a risk model based on MRGs and machine learning algorithms.

Background: This study investigated and compared the impact of financial toxicity (FT) on the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and financial well-being of cancer patients and survivors in the United Kingdom (UK) and United States (US).
Methods: UK & US participants (n = 600) completed an online questionnaire that consisted of a validated FT instrument (COmprehensive Score for financial Toxicity-COST), a standardised HRQoL instrument (EQ-5D-5L) and questions related to their financial well-being. Tobit regression models and descriptive statistics plus χ tests were used to analyse the association between FT and (i) HRQoL whilst controlling for sociodemographic characteristics; and (ii) financial well-being.

Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of Dendrobium officinale in the treatment of radiotherapy-induced oral mucositis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients, and to explore its regulating effect on immune function and oral microbiota by comparing immune-related factors and oral microbiota before and after the intervention.
Methods: We conducted a randomized double-blinded controlled trial in Zhejiang Cancer Hospital. Sixty patients with nasopharyngeal cancer combined with radiotherapy-induced oral mucositis were randomly divided into a study group and control group, with 30 cases in each group The study group used compound vitamin B12 solution and Dendrobium tea drink, and the control group simply used compound vitamin B12 solution rinse.
