Brolucizumab, an angiogenesis inhibitor, is a single-chain fragment of a humanized antibody used to treat neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) and diabetic macular edema (DME). Although registration studies are the primary source of information on the new drug, post-marketing studies allow for further exploration and expansion of previous knowledge about its effectiveness, safety, and dosing regimens. This study summarizes the experience with brolucizumab from real-world clinical practice studies.

Peritoneal metastases synchronously occurring in the patient with primary colon cancer causes that patient to be at high risk for subsequent disease progression within the abdomen and pelvis. If peritoneal metastases are preoperatively diagnosed, patients are likely to be treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy with or without biological therapy prior to cytoreductive surgery (CRS). However, if one only considers patients with peritoneal metastases unexpectedly identified at the time of primary colon cancer resection, the optimal management strategy is neither standardized nor evidence based.

Background: Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) is a complex vascular disorder characterized by a branching neovascular network with polypoidal lesions at its termini. Despite extensive research, the etiology and pathogenesis of PCV remain inadequately understood, and the condition exhibits significant clinical and pathological heterogeneity. In recent years, numerous studies have identified potential subtypes within PCV and proposed various classification schemes.

Article Synopsis
  • A 79-year-old woman was diagnosed with primary lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) in her urinary bladder after experiencing urinary issues and recurrent infections.
  • Imaging tests showed a bladder tumor, which was surgically removed and confirmed to be MALT lymphoma.
  • The patient received follow-up radiotherapy for residual tumors and was disease-free nine months later; however, distinguishing bladder lymphoma from other cancer types can be challenging, and more research is needed for optimal treatment strategies.

NTRK-rearranged spindle cell neoplasm represents an emerging entity included in the latest 5th edition of WHO classification of both soft tissue and female genital tumors. By immunohistochemistry, they are commonly positive for CD34, S100 protein, and CD30 and typically harbor fusions of kinase genes such as NTRK1/2/3, RET, and BRAF. In the gynecological tract, they typically affect the uterine cervix or uterine body.
