Epithelial ovarian cancer is the most common cause of death due to gynecologic malignancies in adults, but is rare in children and adolescents. The majority of ovarian cancers in children and adolescents are stage I at diagnosis and conservative management with preservation of fertility is often possible. Twenty-nine serous epithelial cancers have been reported in females under age 20, only two of which are known to be advanced stage (both stage III). We present a case of advanced stage papillary serous cystadenocarcinoma in a 15-year-old female treated with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and debulking surgery followed by combination chemotherapy.

Impact of Delayed Surgery on Local Colorectal Neuroendocrine Tumors: Is Surveillance a Feasible Option?
Ann Surg Oncol
January 2025
Department of Surgery, Weill Cornell Medicine, New York, NY, USA.
Background: Guidelines for some pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) have shifted towards active surveillance given the indolent nature of this malignancy. We sought to assess the safety of delayed surgery on colorectal NETs as a surrogate for surveillance.
Methods: Resected, stage I, well-differentiated colorectal primary NETs included in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program from 2010 to 2020 were included.
Patterns of lymph node metastasis and long-term outcomes of splenic flexure colon cancer: a descriptive study from a Japanese high-volume center.

Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Cancer Institute Hospital, Japanese Foundation for Cancer Research, 3-8-31, Ariake, Koto-Ku, Tokyo, 135-8550, Japan.
Purpose: The pattern of lymph node metastasis and the appropriate extent of lymph node dissection in splenic flexure colon cancer remain unclear. This study aimed to describe the clinical characteristics, lymph node metastasis patterns, and oncological outcomes of patients with splenic flexure colon cancer.
Methods: The data of patients with splenic flexure cancer diagnosed with pathological stages I-III were extracted from a hospital database.
Comparative Safety of Ibrutinib Versus Zanubrutinib in Patients With Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia: A Prospective Cohort Study.
Hematol Oncol
March 2025
Department of Critical Care Medicine, The Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University, Qingdao University, Qingdao, China.
This study compares the safety profiles of two Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors, Ibrutinib and Zanubrutinib, in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). While Ibrutinib has transformed CLL treatment, it is associated with significant adverse events (AEs). Zanubrutinib, a second-generation BTK inhibitor, offers potential for improved safety.

Aims: Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) is a compound involved in the pathogenesis of various systemic inflammatory diseases, including cardiovascular conditions. The aim of this study was to determine differences in saliva and serum levels of TMAO between periodontitis and healthy patients according to smoking status.
Methods: The study included four systemically healthy groups: periodontally healthy non-smokers (NS-Control; n = 25), non-smokers with Stage-III-Grade-B periodontitis (NS-Periodontitis; n = 25), periodontally healthy smokers (S-Control; n = 25), and smokers with Stage-III Grade-C periodontitis (S-Periodontitis; n = 25).

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second overall leading cause of cancer death in the United States, with recurrence being a frequent cause of mortality. Approaches to improve disease-free survival (DFS) are urgently needed. The gut microbiome, reflected in fecal samples, is likely mechanistically linked to CRC progression and may serve as a non-invasive biomarker.
