Background: Melanoma, a malignant neoplasm originating from melanocytes, is a form of skin cancer with rapidly increasing global incidence, often exacerbated by UV radiation[1]. Particularly, acral melanoma, characterized by its swift metastasis and poor prognosis, underscores the significance of further research into its heterogeneity. Single-cell sequencing has been widely utilized in the study of tumor heterogeneity; however, research related to melanoma remains to be further refined.

Background: Thymoma is a rare mediastinal neoplasm originating from thymic epithelial cells, often associated with paraneoplastic syndromes. These syndromes can manifest as a range of autoimmune disorders, including myasthenia gravis, pure red cell aplasia, and aplastic anemia. Clinical trials involving the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in thymoma have been complicated by a high incidence of immune-related adverse effects (irAEs).

Background And Objective: Thymic epithelial tumors (TETs) are the most common neoplasm of the prevascular mediastinal compartment and are characterized by their rarity and variable clinical presentation. The present study aimed to explore the current management of patients with TET with a special focus on immunotherapy for advanced disease.
Methods: Relevant studies published between 1981 and 2024 were searched in PubMed using search terms "Thymoma", "Thymic cancer", "Myasthenia gravis", "Radiation therapy", "Surgery", and "Immunotherapy".

Aim: The study was designed to evaluate molecular alterations, relevant to the prognosis and personalized therapy of salivary gland cancers (SGCs).
Materials And Methods: DNA was extracted from archival tissue of 40 patients with various SGCs subtypes. A targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) panel was used for the identification of small-scale mutations, focal and chromosomal arm-level copy number changes.

Epithelioid haemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a rare vascular neoplasm characterised by proliferation of vascular endothelial and pre-endothelial cells. The prevalence is less than one in a million people. It is principally observed in the soft tissues of the extremities but can also occur in the bone, brain, liver, lung and lymph nodes.
