Colon carcinoma spreads locally around the intestine wall and can undergo distant metastasis via the hematogenous or lymphatic spread. It rarely metastasizes to the female genital tract and is not fully reported to involve a uterine leiomyoma. Herein we report such an unusual case of a 27 years female a known case of sigmoid colon adenocarcinoma who presented with abdominal pain with bilateral adnexal mass and per vaginal bleeding. Exploratory laparotomy with bilateral resection of ovaries with subsequent polypectomy was done, which on histopathology, it revealed metastatic adenocarcinoma in bilateral ovaries and submucosal leiomyoma. Hence, a lesion with dimorphic histomorphology should be carefully evaluated to rule out the possibility of malignant-to-benign tumor-to-tumor metastasis.

Background noise interferes with the accurate detection of early tumor biomarkers. This study introduces a method that effectively reduces background noise to enhance detection accuracy by combining a color-coded signaling approach with the unique fluorescent properties and room-temperature tunable quantum spin characteristics of fluorescent diamonds (FNDs) with nitrogen-vacancy centers. In this approach, a red signal indicates the presence of the target analyte within the spectral region, a green signal indicates its absence, and a yellow signal indicates the need for further analysis using FNDs' quantum spin properties for optical detection magnetic resonance (ODMR) to distinguish the FND signal from background noise.

The activation of the STING-mediated signaling pathway leads to the secretion of type I interferon (IFN) and the activation of tumor-specific T cells. STING, a pattern recognition receptor located on the endoplasmic reticulum membrane of immune cells, binds with endogenous cyclic dinucleotides. STING undergoes phosphorylation, triggering the STING-TBK1-IRF3 pathway and NF-κB pathway, resulting in the release of IFN-β and other pro-inflammatory cytokines, ultimately enhancing the activation of tumor-specific T cells.

A 65-year-old woman presented with progressively increasing swelling on the right lateral side of her tongue. Further investigation confirmed it to be a schwannoma. Surgical excision of the tumour was performed, resulting in an uncomplicated postoperative recovery with complete preservation of the tongue function.

Background: Carbon-ion radiotherapy provides steep dose gradients that allow the simultaneous application of high tumor doses as well as the sparing of healthy tissue and radio-sensitive organs. However, even small anatomical changes may have a severe impact on the dose distribution because of the finite range of ion beams.
Purpose: An in-vivo monitoring method based on secondary-ion emission could potentially provide feedback about the patient anatomy and thus the treatment quality.

Ubiquitin‑specific protease 35 (USP35) was found to be involved in various tumor progression, but its role in breast cancer remains largely unknown. USP35 mRNA and protein expression in breast cancer tissues and cells were evaluated by qPCR and Western bolt (WB), respectively. Subsequently, flow cytometry and EDU labeling were used to evaluate breast cancer cell apoptosis and proliferation.
