The most common cause of spinal tumors is metastases, but the cervical vertebra is the least common region of spinal metastasis, and relatively, little is published about surgery in metastasis to the cervical vertebra. While spinal metastasis is most often caused by neoplasms originating from the lung, breast, and prostate, renal cell carcinoma (RCC) metastasis is very rare. A 47-year-old patient introduced here presented with severe pain spontaneously on his neck and in his arm. Read More

Uterine choriocarcinoma is a trophoblastic neoplasm that is most commonly gestational but can also be non-gestational in origin. However, primary non-gestational uterine choriocarcinoma is very rare, with only few cases having been reported. We report a case of a premenopausal woman who had initially been diagnosed with myoma delivery but who was discovered to have primary non-gestational uterine choriocarcinoma. Read More

In this review article, we discuss the most common fetal tumors, their prenatal management, and outcomes. Overall, the most important outcome predictors are tumor histology, size, vascularity, and location. Very large lesions, lesions causing cardiac failure, and hydrops and lesions obstructing the fetal airway have the poorest outcome, as they may cause fetal death or complications at the time of delivery.

Using genome-wide association study summary statistics across six cancer types based on a total of 296,215 cases and 301,319 controls of European ancestry, here we estimate the pair-wise genetic correlations between breast, colorectal, head/neck, lung, ovary and prostate cancer, and between cancers and 38 other diseases. We observed statistically significant genetic correlations between lung and head/neck cancer (r = 0. Read More

Background: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of particle therapy (PT) using pencil beam scanning (PBS) technique for early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Methods: From 08/2014 to 03/2018, 31 consecutive patients with sum of the longest diameters of primary tumor and hilar lymph node < 5 cm, N0-1, M0 NSCLC treated with PT were retrospectively analyzed. Gating/active breathing control techniques were used to control tumor motion in 20 and 7 patients. Read More

Novel immunotherapies including antibodies to programmed death ligand 1 (PD-1) and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) have become common therapies for neoplasms including metastatic melanoma and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Dermatologic toxicity is the most common adverse event associated with these immunotherapies. We report a case of bullous pemphogoid (BP) in a patient receiving combination durvalumab and tremelimumab, two newer immunotherapy checkpoint inhibitors under investigation in phase III trials.

Rationale: After total or near-total laryngectomy and resection of prelaryngeal skin, laryngeal defects and prelaryngeal skin defects often remain a great challenge for head and neck surgeons when considering simultaneous reconstruction of. In this case report, a free bipaddled anterolateral thigh (ALT) was used for such defects reconstruction.
Patient Concerns: For this 50-year-old male patient whose recurrent tumor invaded the cricoid cartilage and the prelaryngeal skin, supracricoid partial laryngectomy with a cricohyoidepiglottopexy would no longer be an option. Read More

Rationale: The potential efficacy of apatinib in patients with advanced triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has been observed in a previous phase II clinical study. However, there is no study to evaluate its efficacy and safety in TNBC patients with brain metastasis (BM). Here we report one case that apatinib exhibited excellent antitumor effects in a breast cancer patient with brain metastasis, with no serious treatment-associated with adverse event. Read More

Clinical evidences of surgically treated stage M1b non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients were limited. This study aimed to summarize the clinical data of these patients to explore the prognostic factors of this population. From January 1999 to December 2012, the clinical data of 40 stage M1b NSCLC patients, including 24 males and 16 females, who underwent surgery were collected by Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences.

Adenosquamous carcinoma of lung is an uncommon subtype with more aggressive behavior and poor prognosis than adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. This study was aimed to investigate the clinicopathological characteristics and prognostic factors of lung adenosquamous carcinoma. The pathological features and follow-up data of 133 patients were collected and the prognostic factors of these patients were retrospectively analyzed. Read More

Data from local cancer registries were pooled to estimate cancer incidence and mortality in China, 2015. Data submitted from 501 cancer registries were checked & evaluated according to the criteria of data quality control, and 368 registries' data were qualified for the final analysis. Data were stratified by area (urban/rural), sex, age group and cancer sites, and combined with national population data to estimate cancer incidence and mortality in China, 2015. Read More

Pulmonary ground glass nodule (GGN) is a term of radiological manifestation, which may be malignant or benign. GGN's imaging performance is diverse, and the management for pulmonary GGN remains controversial. Numerous clinical studies have clarified the safety of GGN follow-up and longer follow-up intervals, stricter surgical or biopsy indications are recommended. Read More

Tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) have been proved to be effective in the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) sensitive mutation, which is superior to chemotherapy. However, there are still some patients with sensitive mutations have primary drug resistance. It may be related to the coexistence of susceptible and resistant mutations of EGFR gene, downstream mutations of EGFR pathway, MET amplification and BIM deletion polymorphism. Read More

Janus kinase (JAK)/signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) signaling pathway is one of the downstream pathways of cytokine signaling transduction. It regulates cell development, differentiation, proliferation, apoptosis and so on. The pathway is not only involved in the regulation of normal physiological processes, but also significant in the development of tumors, especially in hematologic malignancies. Read More

PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors play an important role in the first-line and second-line treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), indicating a new treatment strategy of NSCLC. Completed clinical trials have shown that effective detection of PD-L1 expression is the key to the use of immunosuppressive agents. However, the gold standard for PD-L1 detection has still lacked.
