Published: August 2022

Distant metastases derived from papillary carcinoma are generally detected in the lungs and bones. However, renal metastasis is rare. We herein report a case of papillary thyroid carcinoma with renal and pulmonary metastases that had been initially diagnosed as primary renal carcinoma with pulmonary metastases. The lesions showed response to immune checkpoint inhibitors and tyrosine kinase inhibitor but not to radioactive iodine therapy.

This study aimed to explore the risk factors for mediastinal lymph node metastases (MLNM) in patients with early-stage non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and to establish a predictive model. A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data from NSCLC patients treated at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University and the First Affiliated Dongguan Hospital of Guangdong Medical University between March 2021 and March 2023. Baseline clinical data, laboratory parameters, and pathological features were collected and analyzed.

Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have emerged as the first-line treatment for driver-negative advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, there is uncertainty regarding the availability and timing of ICI initiation in patients with NSCLC combined with pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). Additionally, the implementation of dual therapy for anti-TB and anti-tumor treatment poses significant challenges in terms of avoiding drug-drug interactions and reducing adverse reactions during clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Sclerosing epithelioid fibrosarcoma (SEF) is a rare and aggressive neoplasm composed of epithelioid cells arranged in strands and nests embedded in a highly sclerotic collagenous stroma. We report a case of a 36-year-old man who started with lumbar pain, with extension to both legs, night sweats, and weight loss. He underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the lumbar spine; computed tomography (CT) scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis; and [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) scan.

Circular RNAs (circRNAs), covalently closed single-stranded RNAs, have been implicated in cancer progression. A previous investigation revealed that circ-ZEB1 is expressed abnormally in liver cancer. However, the roles of circ-ZEB1 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are unknown.

The contemporary concept of carcinogenesis summarizes the role of hypoxia, neoangiogenesis, and hemostasis, including in the stage of progression and metastasis of the tumor process. Metastatic disease is a serious therapeutic challenge for any oncological condition. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the dynamics of specific indicators of neoangiogenesis and hypoxia as potential biomarkers for therapeutic efficacy or risk of disease progression in patients with brain metastases (BM) undergoing robotic stereotactic radiosurgery.
