Metastatic carcinoma to the testicular, epididymis, and their tunics is unusual and adenocarcinoma of the small bowel is extremely rare. The combination of primary adenocarcinoma of the jejunum with metastasis to the tunica vaginalis of the testis has not been reported previously. An unusual case of a sacral mass in a twenty-seven-year-old black man is presented and the literature reviewed.

Objective: The PACIFIC trial established standard therapy for patients with unresectable stage III NSCLC who did not progress after platinum-based concurrent chemoradiation therapy. However, real-world data, particularly from Latin America, remain limited. The LACOG 0120 study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of consolidation therapy with durvalumab in a real-world setting in Brazil.

Background And Purpose: To present the clinical outcomes of two series of patients treated with carbon-ion radiotherapy (CIRT) and definitive photon radiotherapy (RT) for adenoid cystic carcinoma of the head and neck (HN-ACC).

Material And Methods: The first cohort of six patients was referred from Oslo University Hospital (OUS) to Centro Nazionale di Adroterapia Oncologica (CNAO, Pavia, Italy) for CIRT in 2014-2017. The second cohort included 18 patients treated with definitive photon RT at OUS in 2005-2017.

The role of peripheral blood platelets as indicators of cancer progression is increasingly recognized, and the significance of abnormal glycosylation in platelet function and related disorders is gaining attention. However, the potential of platelets as a source of protein site-specific glycosylation for cancer diagnosis remains underexplored. In this study, we proposed a general pipeline that integrates quantitative proteomics with site-specific glycoproteomics, allowing for an in-depth investigation of the platelet glycoproteome.

Whether primary lesion surgery improves survival in patients with de novo metastatic breast cancer (dnMBC) is inconclusive. We aimed to establish a prognostic prediction model for patients with de novo metastatic breast invasive ductal carcinoma (dnMBIDC) based on machine learning algorithms and to investigate the value of primary site surgery. The data used in our study were obtained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (SEER, 2010-2021) and the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University (1st-NCUH, June 2013-June 2023).

Background: Nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) is a common head and neck malignant tumor, which is difficult to treat at the advanced NPC due to its occult and high metastatic potential to the cervical lymph nodes and distant organs. Low-dose radiotherapy (LDRT) is increasingly being investigated for potential cancer treatment. When combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors, LDRT has been shown to significantly improve the immune microenvironment of tumors, thereby promote the immune attack on tumor cells.
