Background: Dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLPS) is a rare mesenchymal cancer originating from the adipose tissue, with poor survival rates for most patients, highlighting the critical need for novel treatment options.
Case Description: This report examines the efficacy and safety of sequential pre-treatment with the marine-derived alkaloid trabectedin followed by checkpoint inhibition using the anti-PD-1 antibody nivolumab in a 63-year-old male patient with unresectable retroperitoneal DDLPS. Treatment was initiated at the time of the seventh relapse as part of the NitraSarc phase 2 multicenter trial for inoperable soft tissue sarcoma conducted by the German Interdisciplinary Sarcoma Group (GISG-15, ).

Background: Pericoronary adipose tissue attenuation (PCATA) is a novel imaging biomarker of pericoronary inflammation associated with coronary artery disease. Several studies have reported the usefulness of PCATA among people of European ethnicity; however, data are lacking concerning those of Asian ethnicity.
Objectives: This multicenter study aimed to evaluate the effect of PCATA on prognosis in East Asian patients.

Purpose: Computed tomography (CT) is crucial in oncologic imaging for precise diagnosis and staging. Beam-hardening artifacts from contrast media in the superior vena cava can degrade image quality and obscure adjacent structures, complicating lymph node assessment. This study examines the use of virtual monoenergetic reconstruction with photon-counting detector CT (photon-counting CT) to mitigate these artifacts.
