Article Abstract
Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is a non-melanoma (keratinocyte) skin cancer. cSCC can occur as primary cSCC, second primary cancer (SPC), or metastasis. Histopathology and genetic or molecular studies are used to differentiate SPC from metastasis. Cutaneous metastasis (CM) is often misdiagnosed as a benign skin lesion. However, with early diagnosis and timely treatment, CM from breast cancer carries a good prognosis. Although surgery is the first-line treatment for cSCC, metastatic lesions respond well to chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Here, we present the case of a 73-year-old woman who presented to a dermatologist with a localized skin lesion. After detailed radiological and histopathological investigations, she was diagnosed with cSCC metastasis from breast cancer. With timely diagnosis, her CM responded well to chemotherapy.

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.

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) and the voltage-gated potassium channel Kv1.3 are closely associated with breast cancer progression and apoptosis regulation, respectively. NPY receptors (NPYRs), which are overexpressed in breast tumors, contribute to tumor growth, migration, and angiogenesis.

S100 protein family members S100A8 and S100A9 function primarily as a heterodimer complex (S100A8/A9) in vivo. This complex has been implicated in various cancers, including gastric cancer (GC). Recent studies suggest that these proteins play significant roles in tumor progression, inflammation, and metastasis.

Purpose: Breast cancer (BC) is the most frequent cancer among women and the second leading cause of central nervous system (CNS) metastases. While the epidemiology of CNS metastases from BC has been well described, little is known about the treatment patterns and outcomes of young women < 40 years of age with BC that is metastatic to the CNS.
Methods: In this retrospective analysis, we identified patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) to the CNS who were treated at the Sunnybrook Odette Cancer Center, Toronto, Canada between 2008 and 2018.
