Cutaneous Neuroendocrine Metastases of Visceral Origin Responsive to Surgical Resection and Targeted Radionuclide Therapy by Eleanor Tung-Hahn, Ghassan El-Haddad, Jonathan Strosberg

“…While NETs are known to frequently metastasize to lymph nodes, liver, and lungs, spread to the skin is extremely rare and is often a late finding. Because cutaneous metastasis from a visceral site represents distant tumor dissemination, prompt histologic diagnosis is critical in terms of selecting further treatment options and ultimately impacts subsequent prognosis. …”

Whole-Body 18FDG-PET in an Arthritis Paraneoplastic Syndrome Revealed an Underlying Hematological Neoplasm by Serge Cammilleri, Marie Caroline Guzian, Jean-Pierre Mattei, Olivier Mundler, Sandrine Guis

“…About 4% of patients with lymphoma or leukemia suffered from rheumatologic paraneoplastic symptoms like arthralgia and about 10% of the patients with rheumatologic or neurologic clinical symptoms develop a solid cancer or hematological neoplasm. 18FDG-PET is an interesting exam to identify an underlying malignancy when a paraneoplastic syndrome is suspected; it can detect the primitive lesion and/or the metastasis lesions. The use of the 18FDG-PET can help to detect earlier hematological neoplasm in cases of paraneoplastic syndrome without a determined cause and to treat more rapidly and specifically the patient.…”

Detection of Cancer Stem Cells from Patient Samples by Sofia Hakala, Anna Hämäläinen, Sanne Sandelin, Nikolaos Giannareas, Elisa Närvä

“…The existence of cancer stem cells (CSCs) in various tumors has become increasingly clear in addition to their prominent role in therapy resistance, metastasis, and recurrence. For early diagnosis, disease progression monitoring, and targeting, there is a high demand for clinical-grade methods for quantitative measurement of CSCs from patient samples. …”

The Emerging Role of Oyster Mushrooms as a Functional Food for Complementary Cancer Therapy by Priya Lakshmi Sreedharan, Malu Kishorkumar, Elke Gabriel Neumann, Shyam S. Kurup

“…The current article reviews the health benefits of edible oyster-mushroom-derived bioactive compounds, and how they specifically activate or regulate the immune system by affecting the maturation, differentiation, and proliferation of immune cells, thereby inhibiting cancer cell metastasis and growth. Mushrooms show anticancer potential by regulating a single molecule of a specific signaling pathway or by having multiple targets in the same or different signaling pathways. …”
