Article Abstract

We present the first clinical evidence of advanced squamous non-small cell lung cancer with severe thrombocytopenia showing dramatic improvement after first-line treatment with pembrolizumab plus autologous cytokine-induced killer cells.

Background: Anal squamous cell cancer incidence has risen 2.2% each year over the past decade. Current screening includes anal cytology and high-resolution anoscopy but is burdened with sampling error and patient discomfort.

Background: With the increasing incidence of skin cancer, the workload for pathologists has surged. The diagnosis of skin samples, especially for complex lesions such as malignant melanomas and melanocytic lesions, has shown higher diagnostic variability compared to other organ samples. Consequently, artificial intelligence (AI)-based diagnostic assistance programs are increasingly needed to support dermatopathologists in achieving more consistent diagnoses.

Background: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) represents an aggressive cancer type associated with poor prognosis, often treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) using cisplatin-based regimens. However, cisplatin resistance limits therapeutic efficacy, necessitating a deeper understanding of resistance mechanisms. L-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1) plays a crucial role in amino acid uptake and is linked to cancer cell survival through activation of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway.

Background: Though neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) has not improved survival in oral cancers, its role in tongue cancer remains uncertain.

Methods: This was a retrospective study of patients with locally advanced oral tongue cancer (Stage III-IVB) to assess response rates, mandibular preservation, and surgical extent post-NACT, along with recurrence and survival outcomes.

Results: Of 72 patients, 20 (27.

Background: Our previous study suggested that low bone mineral density (BMD), known as osteopenia, was a poor prognostic factor in patients who underwent esophagectomy for esophageal cancer (EC).Meanwhile, the association between BMD reduction during neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and the worse prognosis remains unknown, although esophagectomy after NAC is the first option for the treatment of advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Therefore, this study intended to investigate the prognostic impact of BMD reduction during NAC.
