Insights into the Impact of Hesitancy on Cancer Care and COVID-19.

World Health Organization findings indicate that the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected cancer diagnosis and management. The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the optimal management of outpatient appointments, scheduled treatments, and hospitalizations for cancer patients because of hesitancy among patients and health-care providers. Travel restrictions and other factors likely affected medical, surgical, and radiation treatments during the COVID-19 pandemic. Cancer patients were more likely to be affected by severe illness and complications if they contracted COVID-19. A compromised immune system

Adipocyte-Tumor Interactions in the Bone Marrow Niche: Implications for Metastasis and Therapy.

Bone metastases continue to be a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with advanced cancers, driven by the dynamic remodeling of the bone marrow niche. Traditionally viewed as passive space-fillers, bone marrow adipocytes (BMAs) are now recognized as active regulators of tumor growth, therapeutic resistance, and skeletal pathology. BMAs comprise a significant portion of the adult marrow space, particularly in aging and obesity, and facilitate metastatic colonization through various mechanisms. These include metabolic coupling, where adipocyte-derived fatty acids fuel tumor oxidat

Familial Cerebral Cavernous Malformations: Pathophysiology, Genetics, Biomarkers, and Treatment Perspectives.

Familial cerebral cavernous malformations (FCCM) are a heritable neurovascular disorder defined by clusters of dilated, thin-walled capillaries in the brain and spinal cord. Although rare, FCCM offers a tractable model for understanding how genetic disruptions in endothelial junction biology, mechanotransduction, and kinase signaling drive vascular instability in the central nervous system. Pathogenic loss-of-function variants converge on signaling abnormalities that promote barrier dysfunction, iron deposition, inflammation, and progressive lesional growth. Clinically, FCCM may manifest with

Sternal Tumor Resection and Complex Chest Wall Reconstruction of a Solitary Plasmacytoma: A Report of a Rare Case.

Localized sternal plasmacytoma is a rare and aggressive oncologic condition. Surgical resection followed by radiotherapy offers the highest chance of cure. Radical resection of the chest wall is technically feasible and is associated with improved outcomes. Subsequent reconstruction using meshes, plates, and both autologous and allogenic tissues allows for the restoration of chest wall function and may prolong survival. Patients with solitary plasmacytoma require close follow-up to monitor for local recurrence or distant disease progression. We present a case of a 63-year-old man diagnosed wit

Guided immunotherapy for residual solid tumor: integrating platelets and CAR T cells to reduce post-surgical recurrence.

Postoperative recurrence remains a major obstacle to durable remission in patients with solid tumors, even after complete macroscopic resection. Growing evidence suggests that surgery creates a transient yet highly permissive biological window characterized by inflammatory signaling, coagulation activation, endothelial disruption, and systemic immune suppression. Together, these processes foster a protective niche that enables microscopic residual disease to evade immune surveillance and initiate metastatic outgrowth. Although modern adjuvant therapies have improved outcomes, their effectivene

Neuroscience in peripheral cancers: tumors hijacking nerves and neuroimmune crosstalk.

Cancer neuroscience is an emerging field that investigates the intricate relationship between the nervous system and cancer, gaining increasing recognition for its importance. The central nervous system governs the development of the nervous system and directly affects brain tumors, and the peripheral nervous system (PNS) shapes the tumor microenvironment (TME) of peripheral tumors. Both systems are crucial in cancer initiation and progression, with recent studies revealing a more intricate role of the PNS within the TME. Tumors not only invade nerves but also persuade them through remodeling

Growth differentiation factor-15 may be a novel biomarker in pancreatic cancer: A review.

Pancreatic cancer is a highly malignant and invasive gastrointestinal tumor that is often diagnosed at an advanced stage with a poor prognosis and high mortality. Currently, carbohydrate antigen199(CA199) is the only biomarker approved by the FDA for the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, but it has great limitations. Growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15) is expected to be a novel biomarker for the diagnosis, efficacy prediction, and prognosis assessment of pancreatic cancer patients. In this paper, we searched the keywords GDF-15, macrophage inhibitory cytokine-1 (MIC-1), CA199, pancreatic c
