AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Although PSMA-targeted PET imaging is predominantly used for prostate carcinoma (PC), it has also been reported for thyroid carcinoma (TC). A 77-year-old man had a liver metastasectomy for poorly differentiated TC, which had elevated 18 F-FDG uptake. Two years later, he was diagnosed with acinar-type modified Gleason score of 7 (3 + 4) PC. Four years later, he had metastatic liver lesions that had no radioactive iodine and 18 F-FDG avidity. These lesions were 68 Ga-PSMA avid, and the biopsy confirmed TC metastasis. This case emphasizes the importance of 68 Ga-PSMA-based imaging in poorly differentiated TC and pathological confirmation for lesions that were 68 Ga-PSMA-positive.

Gastric mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinoma (MANEC) is a rare and highly aggressive malignancy characterized by both exocrine and neuroendocrine components. Treatment options for metastatic cases are limited, with typical therapeutic approaches involving a combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy. A 68-year-old male with metastatic gastric MANEC was treated with targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and chemotherapy, including S-1, apatinib, cadonilimab, and paclitaxel.

Background: Primary pulmonary hyalinizing clear cell carcinoma (HCCC) is a rare type of primary salivary gland-type tumor of the lung. HCCC is characterized by unique pathological features, including nests, cords, or trabeculae of clear or eosinophilic tumor cells infiltrating a mucinous or hyalinized stroma. Additional analyses of this carcinoma have revealed positive epithelial markers via immunophenotyping and gene translocation through genetic testing.

Thoracic SMARCA4-deficient undifferentiated tumors (SMARCA4-UTs), recently recognized as a rare malignancy described in the 5th edition of the World Health Organization Classification of Tumors, are characterized by an inactivating mutation in SMARCA4, most commonly found in the mediastinum of male smokers. Despite the aggressive nature and poor prognosis associated with these tumors, which have a median survival time of approximately 4-7 months, no standardized treatment guidelines are currently established. There are currently no reported cases of extended progression-free survival (PFS) in SMARCA4-UT patients treated with surgery and immunotherapy.

Background: ROS1, a member of the sevenless subfamily of tyrosine kinase insulin receptors, promotes tumor cell survival, proliferation, and metastasis by activating the JAK/STAT, PI3K/AKT, and MAPK/ERK pathways. It only accounts for about 2% of total NSCLC cases. No cases of acquired ROS-1 rearrangement have been reported worldwide.

Cutaneous metastasis from solid tumors is a rare manifestation that presents in the clinic. It is usually indicative of poor prognosis, with a poor response to conventional chemotherapy. The introduction of targeted therapy has changed the treatment paradigm in oncology, improving the quality of life and survival of all cancer patients.
