Mammary analog secretory carcinoma (MASC) is a relatively rare, low-grade tumor affecting the salivary glands. We report a 62-year-old female who was diagnosed with MASC of the left parotid gland and underwent left Total conservative parotidectomy with condylectomy and reconstruction with right anterolateral free flap and left facial nerve (frontal branch) reconstruction with a cable graft. As there is no standard treatment protocol developed for the management of MASC, this report focuses on the various management options that have been followed to date.

The mammary epithelium has an inner luminal layer that contains estrogen receptor (ER)-positive hormone-sensing cells and ER-negative alveolar/secretory cells, and an outer basal layer that contains myoepithelial/stem cells. Most human tumours resemble either hormone-sensing cells or alveolar/secretory cells. The most widely used molecular classification, the Intrinsic classification, assigns hormone-sensing tumours to Luminal A/B and human epidermal growth factor 2-enriched (HER2E)/molecular apocrine (MA)/luminal androgen receptor (LAR)-positive classes, and alveolar/secretory tumours to the Basal-like class.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare and lethal malignancy that originates in secretory glands of the head and neck. A prominent molecular feature of ACC is the overexpression of the proto-oncogene MYB. ACC has a poor long-term survival due to its high propensity for recurrence and protracted metastasis.

Background: The early stages of tumor bone metastasis are closely associated with changes in the vascular niche of the bone microenvironment, and abnormal angiogenesis accelerates tumor metastasis and progression. However, the effects of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) cells reprogrammed by the bone microenvironment on the vascular niche within the bone microenvironment and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study investigates the effects and mechanisms of LUAD cells reprogrammed by the bone microenvironment on endothelial cells and angiogenesis, providing insights into the influence of tumor cells on the vascular niche within the bone microenvironment.

The anti-tumor effect of the IFNγ/Fas chimera expressed on CT26 tumor cells.

Interferon gamma (IFNγ) is well-known for its ability to stimulate immune cells in response to pathogen infections and cancer. To develop an effective cancer therapeutic vaccine, CT26 colon carcinoma cells were genetically modified to express IFNγ either as a secreted form (sIFNγ) or as a membrane-bound form. For the membrane-bound expression, IFNγ was fused with Fas (mbIFNγ/Fas), incorporating the extracellular cysteine-rich domains, transmembrane, and cytoplasmic domains of Fas.
