Article Abstract

The advent of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has significantly improved cancer treatment. With the increasing use of ICIs, ICI-related myocarditis has been recognized. However, an evidence-based therapeutic strategy has not been established because of the limited knowledge on ICI-related myocarditis. Here, we present four cases of ICI-related fulminant myocarditis (FM). Three of the four cases resulted in fatal outcomes despite aggressive treatment with mechanical circulatory support and immunosuppressive therapy with corticosteroids. Given the poor prognosis of ICI-FM, the establishment of rapid and adequate therapeutic interventions on the basis of clinical and pathological evaluation is imperative.

Purpose: To describe our integrated pelvic fascial structure-sparing (IPFSS) technique for robotic-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) with intracorporeal orthotopic neobladder (ONB) reconstruction and to evaluate its impact on urinary continence and sexual function in male patients.

Methods: This retrospective observational study was conducted at a single high-volume center. Male bladder cancer patients who underwent IPFSS RARC with ONB were included.

Background And Objective: Sacituzumab govitecan, an anti-trophoblast cell surface antigen 2 (TROP2) antibody-drug conjugate, has been approved by both the US Food and Drug Administration and European Medicines Agency for patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer who have received two or more prior systemic therapies, including at least one of them for advanced disease. Although TROP2 evaluation is not required for patient selection, survival data from the ASCENT trial show improved response rates in patients with high TROP2 expression by immunohistochemistry. However, there is no standardized testing assay for these patients.

Targeting pathological ERK1/2 signaling in cancer and beyond.

Dysregulation of the RAF-MEK-ERK1/2 pathway is involved in the pathoetiology of many diseases. Its central role in cancer has led to the development of drugs targeting upstream receptors, RAS, and kinases in the extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 (ERK1) and 2 (ERK2) signaling cascade. The use of these drugs in cancer therapy - together with ongoing monitoring of their effectiveness, evolving side-effects, and resistance mechanisms - has expanded our knowledge of both the physiological and pathological functions of ERK1/2 and could thus provide potential alternative therapeutic strategies.

Clinicians need a good understanding of available tools to diagnose iron deficiency (ID). Interpretation of commonly used laboratory tests can be challenging due to the dynamic nature of iron homeostasis and concurrent inflammation, which influence results. The misinterpretation of iron studies, inconsistencies in ID diagnostic guidelines, and low awareness of non-anaemic ID may lead to missed diagnoses and opportunities for treatment.

Background: Angiosarcoma is a rare and aggressive malignancy arising from vascular endothelial cells, with distinct subtypes originating in bone (AS-B) and soft tissue (AS-ST). While these subtypes share pathological similarities, differences in clinical outcomes remain unclear due to limited data. This study aimed to compare the clinical features, treatment strategies, and survival outcomes between AS-B and AS-ST using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database.
