A 35-year-old woman was diagnosed as triple-negative breast cancer(TNBC)by a core needle biopsy and referred to our hospital. She was diagnosed as cT2N3M1, cStage Ⅳ TNBC because of metastasis in the right axilla, supraclavicular and internal mammary lymph node, and the contralateral supraclavicular lymph node in addition to the primary tumor. No obvious visceral metastasis was observed. Immunohistochemical assay showed SP142 PD-L1-positive and CPS 10 or more by 22C3. The patient was started on atezolizumab+nab-paclitaxel(PTX)therapy, but progression disease(PD)was observed without obvious effect. Pembrolizumab+carboplatin+gemcitabine was started as second-line therapy, and the tumor achieved partial response(PR)but developed PD within 6 months. After that, she was administrated olaparib, but PD was observed, and after the therapy with PTX+bevacizumab, she is now treated with eribulin.

Cystic lesions of the head and neck encompass a wide spectrum of benign and malignant entities, which often presents diagnostic challenges as a result of the region's complex anatomy. Despite extensive literature, variability persists in diagnostic strategies and approaches. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy is a commonly used and highly effective method for the initial assessment of these lesions by offering a minimally invasive technique to collect cellular material for diagnostic evaluation.

Background: T follicular helper (TFH) cell lymphoma is complex, and we hope to provide a new perspective for its diagnosis.
Methods: We analysed the immunophenotypes of 89 mature T-cell lymphomas, including 52 nodal lymphomas of TFH origin, as well as 32 benign lymph node samples and 30 healthy bone marrow samples, by flow cytometry (FCM).
Results: Among pan-T cell markers, CD4CD5CD3 is the typical pattern that distinguishes TFH lymphoma from other T-cell lymphomas.

Background: Previous studies indicated that over-dissection of lymph nodes might impair the efficacy of immunotherapy. This study aims to explore the prognostic value of ypN + status and the impact of lymph node dissection (LND) on survival after neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy (NICT) for esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC).
Methods: This double-center retrospective study enrolled 206 consecutive ESCC patients who underwent NICT followed by esophagectomy between 2018 and 2024.

Background: Minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomy (MIPD) is used more commonly, but this surge is mostly based on observational data. This meta-analysis aimed to compare the short-term outcomes between MIPD and open pancreaticoduodenectomy (OPD) using data collected from randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
Methods: We searched PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Web of Science databases for RCTs comparing MIPD and OPD published before December 10, 2024.

Introduction And Aim: Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs) are rare neoplasms originating in neuroendocrine cells from the gastric mucosa and submucosa, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, and pancreas. Our aim was to describe their histopathologic, endoscopic, and clinical characteristics and the experience with these tumors at a tertiary care hospital center in the Colombian Southwest.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective, analytic, observational, and descriptive study included 93 patients diagnosed with GEP-NETs, within the time frame of 2018 and 2022.
