Pelvic metastasis of melanoma is extremely rare and may pose a diagnostic challenge. We present a case report of a female with a history of colon cancer who underwent exploratory surgery for a pelvic mass that was suspicious for ovarian malignancy. Pathology was consistent with both recurrent colon cancer as well as synchronous newly diagnosed metastatic melanoma.

Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors +/- Chemotherapy for Patients With NSCLC and Brain Metastases: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis.

Background: Multiple studies have demonstrated the intracranial efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) +/- chemotherapy. The efficacy of chemoimmunotherapy compared to ICI alone in patients with metastatic NSCLC and brain metastases (BM) remains unknown.
Methods: A systematic review and network meta-analysis were performed to evaluate ICI efficacy and the influence of additional chemotherapy on survival outcomes in treatment-naïve metastatic NSCLC with BM.
Selective expression and significance of ACKR2 in lung aerocytes.

Background: ACKR2 is an atypical chemokine receptor that plays a significant role in regulating inflammation by binding to inflammatory CC chemokines and facilitating their degradation. Previous findings suggest that the genetic absence of ACKR2 leads to heightened tumor growth in inflammation-driven models. Conversely, mice lacking ACKR2 exhibit protection against lung metastasis in melanoma and breast cancer models.

However, long-term and large-scale data are required to evaluate the effects of SGLT2 inhibitors on malignancy, which has not been sufficiently studied in clinical practice. This study aimed to evaluate the association between SGLT2 inhibitors and malignancy using the spontaneous adverse reaction database.

Leptomeningeal carcinomatosis is a form of advanced metastatic disease conferring poor prognosis, most commonly associated with melanoma, small cell lung cancer, and breast cancer. In rare cases it has been shown to be associated with stroke thought to be related to vasculopathy caused by tumoral infiltration of cerebral vasculature. We present a case of acute cerebellar infarction in a patient with metastatic breast cancer complicated by leptomeningeal carcinomatosis, admitted for worsening metastatic disease.
