The duplex kidney is one of the common congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract. Meanwhile, renal cell carcinoma is also the most typical variant constituting more than 90% of cancers of the kidneys. However, renal cell carcinoma is rare in a duplicated collecting system, and literature regarding its association is very sparse. Herein, we present a 28-year-old male patient who presented with abdominal pain and hematuria and was diagnosed with left upper pole renal cell carcinoma coexisted with a duplicated collecting system by computed tomography scan. The patient underwent a left partial nephrectomy followed by meticulous suturing of opened pelvicalyceal system. The histopathology result showed clear cell carcinoma. The postoperative period was uneventful, and the patient was discharged without complications. In conclusion, the coexistence of the duplex system and renal cell carcinoma in the ipsilateral kidney is rare and maybe more than a coincidence, requiring a deeper insight and further elucidation.

Introduction: Cancer cachexia (CC) is characterized by weight loss with specifically reduced skeletal muscles and adipose tissues in patients with late-stage cancer. Dihydroartemisinin (DHA), an effective antimalarial derivative of artemisinin, has been demonstrated to have anti-inflammatory and antitumor properties.
Materials And Methods: This study examined the effects of DHA on the Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC)-induced CC mouse model.

Objective: To evaluate the postoperative complications and prognosis of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in a solitary kidney after irreversible electroporation (IRE).
Materials And Methods: A total of 8 patients with 9 RCCs in a solitary kidney treated with computed tomography (CT)-guided IRE from February 2017 to September 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Follow-up included contrast-enhanced CT or magnetic resonance imaging examinations at 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and each year after IRE and the evaluation of the incidence of postoperative complications, renal function changes, local tumor recurrence, and metastasis.

Background: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is standard for advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, though often ineffective. Therefore, predicting the response to chemotherapy before treatment is desirable. However, there is currently no established method for predicting response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Purpose: Mammary carcinoma is comprised heterogeneous groups of cells with different metastatic potential. 4T1 mammary carcinoma cells metastasized to heart (4THM), liver (4TLM) and brain (4TBM) and demonstrate cancer-stem cell phenotype. Using these cancer cells we found thatTGF-β is the top upstream regulator of metastatic process.
