Article Abstract
A 37 year-old man with preoperative diagnosis of pulmonary mucosal associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma underwent right middle lobectomy thoracoscopically followed by adjuvant chemotherapy since 18 days after the operation. The patient is free from recurrence 6 months after the operation. Pulmonary MALT lymphoma is rare and its treatment is controversial. This patient underwent surgical treatment and adjuvant chemotherapy because the tumor is limited to right middle lobe. Thoracoscopic lobectomy is less invasive and it was possible to perform adjuvant chemotherapy soon after the operation.

Successful Identification and Treatment of Cancer of Unknown Primary Originating From Gastric Cancer Using Comprehensive Genomic Profiling and Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Therapy: A Case Report.
Cancer Rep (Hoboken)
September 2025
Division of Gastroenterology, Department of Internal Medicine, Asahikawa Medical University, Asahikawa, Japan.
Background: Cancer of unknown primary (CUP) is a challenging malignancy characterized by metastatic tumors with an unidentified primary site, even after extensive pathological and radiographic evaluation. Recent advancements in gene expression profiling and comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) using next-generation sequencing (NGS) have enabled the identification of potential tissue origins, thereby facilitating personalized treatment strategies. Although most cases of CUP present as adenocarcinomas or poorly differentiated tumors, the treatment remains largely empirical, with limited success from molecularly tailored therapies.

Division of Colon and Rectal Surgery, Department of Surgery, Soonchunhyang University Bucheon Hospital, Soonchunhyang University College of Medicine, Bucheon, Korea.
Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the benefit of neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy (nCRT) versus adjuvant chemotherapy alone after surgery without nCRT on oncologic and perioperative outcomes of patients with extremely low rectal cancer requiring abdominoperineal resection (APR) when initially diagnosed.
Methods: Between March 2001 and December 2018, 88 patients who underwent APR for low rectal adenocarcinoma (anal verge < 4 cm) with clinical stage II and III (clinical T3/4, N -/+) were retrieved from a retrospective database. Sixty-eight patients received adjuvant chemotherapy alone after APR without nCRT, and 20 patients received nCRT before APR.
Efficacy and safety of intravenous administration of high-dose selenium for preventing chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy in gastric cancer patients receiving adjuvant oxaliplatin and capecitabine after gastrectomy: a retrospective pilot study.
Korean J Clin Oncol

Department of Surgery, Seoul St. Mary's Hospital, College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea, Seoul, Korea.
Purpose: Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a common dose-limiting toxicity associated with oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy in gastric cancer patients. Recent studies suggest that high-dose intravenous selenium may exert neuroprotective effects in patients receiving platinum-based chemotherapy.
Methods: This pilot study analyzed patients with stage III gastric adenocarcinoma who underwent gastrectomy between January and December 2024.
Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for primary advanced-stage or recurrent ovarian cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized control trials.

Hospital Federal dos Servidores do Estado, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Electronic address:
Background: Ovarian cancer has the highest mortality among gynecologic malignancies. Despite cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and systemic therapy, peritoneal recurrence remains common. Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) delivers heated chemotherapy directly to the peritoneal cavity, enhancing local cytotoxicity and offering a potential therapeutic strategy.

Background: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) is used to reduce breast cancer size before surgery, allowing for breast conservation surgery (BCS) instead of mastectomy. However, concerns exist about higher positive margins and local recurrence rates.
Aims: This study compared the incidence of positive margins, local recurrence rates, and other oncologic outcomes of BCS performed either upfront or after NACT.
