Article Abstract
Patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection have a higher prevalence of colonic neoplasms than the general population. In these patients, tumors develop at an earlier age, are diagnosed at more advanced stages, and have a dismal prognosis. Current guidelines recommend initiating colon cancer screening in HIV patients at the age of 45 which is consistent with screening age in the general population. We present a rare case of colon cancer diagnosed in an HIV-infected patient at a young age of only 34 years. Therefore, we recommend early screening for colon cancer in HIV patients than the general population.

Mediastinal masses often present acutely as medical emergencies, necessitating prompt and accurate diagnosis. Imaging-guided fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) plays a pivotal role in rapidly identifying rare mediastinal tumours and differentiating them from other potential aetiologies, enabling timely intervention. Primary mediastinal germ cell tumours (PMGCTs) constitute approximately 15% of adult mediastinal neoplasms.

Background: Dietary patterns influence psychological health, systemic inflammation, and gut microbiota composition in colon cancer patients. This study evaluates the associations of the Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND) score and the Dietary Index for Gut Microbiota (DI-GM) with psychological outcomes, inflammatory markers, gut microbiota diversity (Shannon index) and composition (Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio), and tumor biomarkers in colon cancer patients.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 630 colon Cancer patients.

Isatin (1-indole-2,3-dione) is a privileged nitrogen-containing heterocyclic framework that has received considerable attention in anticancer drug discovery owing to its general biological behavior and structural diversity. This review focuses on isatin-heterocyclic hybrids as a valuable model in the development of new anti-cancer drugs that may reduce side effects and help overcome drug resistance, discussing their synthetic approaches and mechanism of action as apoptosis induction through kinase inhibition. With various chemical modifications, isatin had an excellent ability to build powerful isatin hybrids and conjugates targeting multiple oncogenic pathways.
