A case of glioma of the tongue that was treated successfully by simple excision and repair is presented. It may represent neural tissue that remains in the occipital somites that differentiate into the tongue muscles. Histologically, it consists of sheets of glial tissue. The literature is reviewed, and the case is discussed.

The chemotherapeutic agent vincristine is commonly used for a variety of hematologic cancers, as well as solid tumors of the head and neck, bronchial carcinoma, as part of the procarbazine, lomustine and vincristine (PCV) regimen, for glioma. Damage to nerve tissue (neuropathy) is often dose-limiting and restricts treatment. Nimodipine is a calcium antagonist that has also shown neuroprotective properties in preliminary studies.

We retrospectively analyzed data from 15 patients, with a normal pre-operative cognitive performance, undergoing awake surgery for left fronto-temporal low-grade glioma. We combined a pre-surgical measure (fMRI maps of motor- and language-related centers) with intra-surgical measures (MNI-registered cortical sites data obtained during intra-operative direct electrical stimulation, DES, while they performed the two most common language tasks: number counting and picture naming). Selective DES effects along the precentral gyrus/inferior frontal gyrus (and/or the connected speech articulation network) were obtained.

Background: The use of high-throughput genotyping techniques has enabled us to identify the rare germline genetic variants with different pathogenicity and penetrance, and understand their role in cancer predisposition. We report here a familial cancer case, a study from Western Indian.
Methods: NGS-WES was carried out in a lung cancer patient who has a family history of multiple cancers across generations, including tongue, lung, brain, cervical, urothelial, and esophageal cancer.

Phytochemicals have the potential to treat resistant cancer. They are delivered to the target site via nano-based carriers. Promising results are seen in preclinical and in vitro models, as phytochemical-based nanoformulations have improved cell cytotoxicity compared to single agents.
