Article Abstract

Clinical cytogenomic studies of solid tumor samples are critical to the diagnosis, prognostication, and treatment selection for cancer patients. An overview of current cytogenomic techniques for solid tumor analysis is provided, including standards for sample preparation, clinical and technical considerations, and documentation of results. With the evolving technologies and their application in solid tumor analysis, these standards now include sequencing technology and optical genome mapping, in addition to the conventional cytogenomic methods, such as G-banded chromosome analysis, fluorescence in situ hybridization, and chromosomal microarray analysis. This updated Section E6.7-6.12 supersedes the previous Section E6.5-6.8 in Section E: Clinical Cytogenetics of the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics Standards for Clinical Genetics Laboratories.

Importance: Patients with advanced cancer frequently receive broad-spectrum antibiotics, but changing use patterns across the end-of-life trajectory remain poorly understood.

Objective: To describe the patterns of broad-spectrum antibiotic use across defined end-of-life intervals in patients with advanced cancer.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This nationwide, population-based, retrospective cohort study used data from the South Korean National Health Insurance Service database to examine broad-spectrum antibiotic use among patients with advanced cancer who died between July 1, 2002, and December 31, 2021.

The spindle cell variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is exceptionally rare and poses significant diagnostic challenges due to its morphological overlap with other spindle cell lesions of the thyroid. We report a novel case of spindle cell variant PTC in a 66-year-old woman presenting with a TI-RADS 4 thyroid nodule, initially classified as Bethesda III on fine-needle aspiration. Histopathological examination revealed a biphasic tumor composed predominantly of bland spindle cells arranged in solid sheets and fascicles, admixed with entrapped thyroid follicles.

Background: Previous results from this phase 3 trial showed that progression-free survival among participants with previously untreated (epidermal growth factor receptor)-mutated advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) was significantly improved with amivantamab-lazertinib as compared with osimertinib. Results of the protocol-specified final overall survival analysis in this trial have not been reported.

Methods: We randomly assigned, in a 2:2:1 ratio, participants with previously untreated -mutated (exon 19 deletion or L858R substitution), locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC to receive amivantamab-lazertinib, osimertinib, or lazertinib.

Fluoropyrimidines are a class of chemotherapy drugs used to treat various solid tumors. 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) an antimetabolite in the fluoropyrimidine family, which has shown remarkable efficacy against a variety of solid tumors, is a crucial medication in the treatment of cancer. However, severe organ toxicities frequently restrict its therapeutic potential.

Collagen contributes to extracellular matrix formation and stiffness, providing a three-dimensional framework that supports the development and growth of solid tumors. By interacting with specific tumor cell receptors, collagen influences tumor cell signaling pathways, promoting cancer progression and drug resistance. Recent advancements in understanding the tumor extracellular matrix have underscored collagen's role in fostering an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) and acting as a barrier to immunotherapy.
