Article Abstract
Most primary thyroid tumours are of epithelial origin. Primary thyroid mesenchymal tumours are rare but are being increasingly detected. A vast majority of thyroid mesenchymal tumours occur between the fourth and seventh decades of life, presenting as progressively enlarging thyroid nodules that often yield non-diagnostic results or spindle cells on fine needle aspiration biopsy. Surgery is the preferred mode of treatment, with adjuvant chemoradiotherapy used for malignant thyroid mesenchymal tumours. Benign thyroid mesenchymal tumours have excellent prognosis, whereas the outcome of malignant thyroid mesenchymal tumours is variable. Each thyroid mesenchymal tumour is characterised by its unique histopathology and immunohistochemistry. Because of the rarity and aggressive nature of malignant thyroid mesenchymal tumours, a multidisciplinary team-based approach should ideally be used in the management of these tumours. Comprehensive guidelines on the management of thyroid mesenchymal tumours are currently lacking. In this Review, we provide a detailed description of thyroid mesenchymal tumours, their clinical characteristics and tumour behaviour, and provide recommendations for the optimal management of these tumours.

Background And Aims: Liver metastasis significantly contributes to poor survival in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC), posing therapeutic challenges due to limited understanding of its mechanisms. We aimed to identify a potential target critical for CRC liver metastasis.
Methods: We analyzed the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) databases and identified EphrinA3 (EFNA3) as a potential clinically relevant target.

Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) patient-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) behave differently than normal ones, creating a more protective environment for leukemia cells, making relapse harder to prevent. This study aimed to identify prognostic biomarkers and elucidate relevant biological pathways in AML by leveraging microarray data and advanced bioinformatics techniques. We retrieved the GSE122917 dataset from the NCBI Gene Expression Omnibus and performed differential expression analysis (DEA) within R Studio to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) among healthy donors, newly diagnosed AML patients, and relapsed AML patients.

Background And Aims: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has a poor prognosis and limited treatment options. TGF-β is a promising therapeutic target, but its dual role, as both a tumour suppressor and promoter, complicates its clinical application. While its effects on tumour cells are increasingly understood, its impact on the tumour stroma remains unclear.

Follicular dendritic cell sarcoma (FDCS) is a rare tumour derived from dendritic cells located in B-follicles that play a pivotal role in the adaptive immune response. Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for localized disease; however, the management of unresectable or advanced disease is less well-defined. To date, to the best of our knowledge, there is no established or preferred chemotherapeutic regimen, although a number of regimens (primarily used in lymphomas and sarcomas) have been utilized with suboptimal outcomes.

Double homeobox A pseudogene 9 (DUXAP9), also known as long intergenic non-coding RNA 1296 (LINC01296) and lymph node metastasis-associated transcript 1 (LNMAT1), is an emerging lncRNA encoded by a pseudogene. It has been reported to be upregulated in various tumor types and functions as an oncogenic factor. The high expression of DUXAP9 is closely related to clinical pathological features and poor prognosis in 16 types of malignant tumors.
