A 51-year-old man was diagnosed to have non-small cell lung cancer, right middle lobe, with multiple bony metastasis. Systemic chemotherapy with the regimens of cisplatin plus etoposide was administered. A 2 x 2.5 cm firm nodule in the right testis was incidentally found two weeks after the first course of chemotherapy. Transinguinal right radical orchiectomy was performed. Pathologic examination revealed a picture similar to his lung cancer. Secondary carcinoma of the testis is extremely rare. The relevant literature about its incidence, clinical manifestations, sources of primary tumor and routes of metastasis are reviewed.

Background: Robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) is more precise and flexible than video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatment. This study compared the early postoperative functional recovery of patients who underwent triportal RATS with that of patients who underwent uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery (UVATS) for segmentectomy.
Methods: This observational, prospective study included 172 patients with clinical stage I or II peripheral NSCLC who underwent RATS or UVATS segmentectomy.

Background: We predicted the number of cancer deaths and rates for 2025 in the European Union (EU), its five most populous countries, and the UK, focusing on breast cancer.
Materials And Methods: We derived population data and death certificates for all cancers and major sites for the EU, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, and the UK since 1970, from the World Health Organization and United Nations databases. Estimates for 2025 were computed by linear regression on recent trends identified through Poisson joinpoint regression, considering the slope of the most recent trend segment.

Breast cancer has emerged as the leading cause of global cancer incidence, surpassing lung cancer. Accumulating evidence suggests that probiotics exhibit inhibitory effect on breast cancer progression, highlighting the need to identify gut flora-derived probiotics with potential anti-breast cancer properties. Here, we investigated the effect of the cell-free supernatant of C.
