Article Abstract
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive, complex disease with a distinct biology that contributes to its poor prognosis. Management of SCLC is still widely limited to chemotherapy and radiation therapy, and research recruitment still poses a considerable challenge. Here, we review the current standard of care for SCLC and advances made in utilizing immunotherapy. We also highlight research in the development of targeted therapies and emphasize the importance of a team-based approach to make clinical advances. Building an integrative network between an academic site and community practice sites optimizes biomarker and drug target discovery for managing and treating a difficult disease like SCLC.

Unlabelled: Pancreatic signet ring cell carcinoma (PSRCC) is a rare and aggressive subtype of pancreatic cancer with a dismal prognosis. We present the case of a 50-year-old male who, within six weeks, developed a pancreatic mass with liver metastases. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided biopsy confirmed PSRCC.

Introduction: Interstitial lung disease is a major complication in patients with common variable immunodeficiency. There are some publications that try to shed light on the pathophysiology of this non-infectious complication, most of them highlight the role of follicular T cells and CD21 B cells. Moreover, there are no guidelines based on randomized controlled studies on the treatment of patients with interstitial lung disease and the published case series or small uncontrolled studies describe a wide range of response rates to treatment.

Unlabelled: B-cell lymphomas are highly aggressive forms of lymphoma that commonly present with lymphadenopathy, systemic "B" symptoms, or organ involvement making them easy to recognize; however, a small percentage of B-cell lymphomas can present without any typical symptoms or evidence of lymphadenopathy, resulting in delayed recognition and management. Isolated thrombocytopenia without anaemia or leukopenia is an unusual presentation of B cell lymphomas and may be misdiagnosed as immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). Given the rarity of this presentation, we wish to report a case of a 76-year-old female who presented with palpitations, shortness of breath, and recurrent chest infections.

Unlabelled: Encephalitis is a potentially life-threatening condition with infectious or autoimmune aetiologies. Autoimmune encephalitis includes paraneoplastic variants associated with specific onconeural antibodies such as anti-Hu, frequently linked to malignancies. Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is the leading infectious cause in adults.
