Tumor-Induced Local and Systemic Impact on Blood Vessel Function by J. Cedervall, A. Dimberg, A-K. Olsson

“…The vessel wall serves as a barrier for metastatic tumor cells, and the integrity and activation status of the endothelium serves as an important defense mechanism against metastasis. In addition, leukocytes, such as cytotoxic T-cells, have to travel across the vessel wall to enter the tumor tissue where they contribute to killing of cancer cells. …”

The Rare Malignancy of the Hepatobiliary System: Ampullary Carcinoid Tumor by Mustafa Ozsoy, Yucel Ozsoy, Aras Emre Canda, Olcay Ak Nalbant, Fatih Haskaraca

“…On pathological examination of the mass, a tumoral mass was detected in ampulla vateri localization, 1.5 × 1 × 0.8 cm in size, which, in immunohistochemical staining, was evaluated as a neuroendocrine tumor. Also, Metastasis was observed. Conclusion. The rarest type of carcinoid tumor is ampullary located carcinoid tumor, and tumor size is not a reliable indicator for tumor aggressivity in ampullary carcinoid tumors.…”

Prognostic Parameters for the Primary Care of Melanoma Patients: What Is Really Risky in Melanoma? by Daniela Göppner, Martin Leverkus

“…Even more, is it not well known precisely what kind of molecular changes predispose the primary melanoma for metastasis. The identification of morphological surrogates and prognostic parameters in tumors with such genetic alteration seems therefore crucial when differentiating and classifying this heterogeneous tumor entity in more detail and thus facilitates the stratification of prognosis as well as therapy. …”

Iatrogenic Proximal Urethro–Rectal Perforation During Foley Catheter Insertion by Claude Tayar, Ali Alameh, Rawan Abdallah, Jamil Boufarah, Yehya Tlaiss, Hadi Farhat

“…This case report outlines the presentation, diagnosis, management, and outcomes of a 71-year-old male patient who experienced iatrogenic rectal perforation during the routine insertion of a Foley catheter, against the backdrop of several predisposing factors, such as atrial fibrillation, valvular disease, benign prostatic hyperplasia, urethral stenosis, and colorectal cancer with liver metastasis. The inadvertent creation of a rectourethral fistula during the procedure led to an urgent multidisciplinary approach involving surgery and postoperative management, including fecal and urine diversion and antibiotic therapy. …”

Potential Use of Bisphosphonates in Invasive Extramammary Paget’s Disease: An Immunohistochemical Investigation by Taku Fujimura, Sadanori Furudate, Yumi Kambayashi, Setsuya Aiba

“…Recent reports also suggested that BPs might have a direct antitumor effect through several pathways beyond their beneficial effect on bone metastasis. Among them, the abrogation of immunosuppressive cells, myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSC), by BPs might be one of the optimal methods to induce an antitumor immune response both locally and at sites remote from the tumor. …”

The deregulated physiology in oral squamous cell carcinoma- a brief review by Keerthika Saravanan, Madhu Narayan, Krishnan Rajkumar

“…In cancer biology, hallmarks of cancer represent the normal physiology gone astray such as sustaining proliferative signaling, evading growth suppressors, avoiding immune destruction, activating invasion and metastasis, tumor promoting inflammation, enabling replicative immortality, inducing angiogenesis and resisting cell death that thus serve as blueprints for understanding core cancer characteristics. …”
