Article Abstract
A 73-year-old woman was admitted with the chief complaint of abdominal pain. Computed tomography suggested malignant tumor of the gallbladder infiltrating the liver, duodenum, and transverse colon. Extended cholecystectomy with en bloc resection of the involved liver, transverse colon, and duodenum was performed to achieve curative resection. Pathologic evaluation led to the diagnosis of stage IVA squamous cell carcinoma (T4aN0M0), according to the biliary tract cancer classification established by the Japanese Society of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery. Hepatic hilar lymph node recurrence was identified 3 months later and heavy ion radiotherapy was performed. The patient was hospitalized after 8 months with acute cholangitis, which improved with conservative treatment;however, heart failure worsened during treatment and she died 9 months after surgery.

Oral cancer is a major global health burden, ranking sixth in prevalence, with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) being the most common type. Importantly, OSCC is often diagnosed at late stages, underscoring the need for innovative methods for early detection. The oral microbiome, an active microbial community within the oral cavity, holds promise as a biomarker for the prediction and progression of cancer.

Background: Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a highly aggressive neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) with poor prognosis due to chemotherapy resistance. Molecular subtypes, including ASCL1, NEUROD1, YAP1 and POU2F3, have distinct clinical implications. POU2F3, linked to a tuft cell-like lineage, represents a non-neuroendocrine subtype found in SCLC and extrapulmonary NECs.

To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics of non-HPV-related common differentiated penile squamous cell carcinoma, and to observe and analyze the changes of TP53 gene and the expression and significance of TP53, P16, programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), androgen receptor (AR), human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2), and Ki67 proteins in tumor tissue. A total of 65 patients with penile squamous cell carcinoma diagnosed from May 2008 to May 2020 in Yantai Yuhuangding Hospital were retrospectively analyzed, and tumors were confirmed as non-HPV-associated common differentiated squamous cell carcinoma of the penis with negative HPV molecular tests in 55 patients. The relevant clinicopathological data of 55 patients were collected, and the TP53 gene mutation was detected by applying first-generation sequencing technology.

Objectives: Salvage endoscopic therapy is increasingly recommended for localized, superficial failure at the primary site after chemoradiotherapy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. This multicenter retrospective study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes and prognostic factors associated with overall survival in patients who underwent salvage endoscopic therapy for cT1N0M0 local failure after chemoradiotherapy or radiotherapy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed patients with cT1N0M0 local failure after chemoradiotherapy or radiotherapy who underwent endoscopic resection or photodynamic therapy using talaporfin sodium at two Japanese institutions between 2012 and 2021.
