Detection of two synchronous histologically different renal cell carcinoma subtypes in the same kidney:  a case report and review of the literature
ConclusionThe coexistence of dissimilar RCC subtypes can contribute to diverse prognostic implications. Further research should focus on enhancing the complex, yet highly crucial, preoperative detection and pathological examination to differentiate multiple renal lesions. Planning optimal operative techniques (radical or partial nephrectomy), selecting suitable adjuvant regimens, and reporting long-term follow-up outcomes of patients in whom synchronous yet different RCC subtypes were detected are of utmost importance.

Cancers, Vol. 16, Pages 1926: Update on Renal Cell Carcinoma Diagnosis with Novel Imaging Approaches
ier Meyrignac This review highlights recent advances in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) imaging. It begins with dual-energy computed tomography (DECT), which has demonstrated a high diagnostic accuracy in the evaluation of renal masses. Several studies have suggested the potential benefits of iodine quantification, particularly for distinguishing low-attenuation, true enhancing solid masses from hyperdense cysts. By determining whether or not a renal mass is present, DECT could avoid the need for additional imaging studies, thereby reducing healthcare costs. DECT can also provide virtual unenhanced images, helping to reduce...

Cancers, Vol. 16, Pages 1931: The Utility of Intraluminal Therapies in Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma: A Narrative Review
engupta Nephron sparing surgery (NSS) is considered for selected cases of upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) as it maintains renal function and avoids morbidity associated with radical nephroureterectomy (RNU). The appropriate selection of patients suitable for NSS without compromising oncological outcomes can sometimes be difficult, given the limitations of diagnostic modalities. Recurrence rates for UTUC can be as high as 36 to 54% after NSS. Intraluminal adjuvant therapy can be attempted following NSS to reduce recurrence, but delivery to the upper tract is more challenging than into the bladder. Bacillus Calme...

Meta-analysis of the GALAD model for diagnosing primary hepatocellular carcinoma
CONCLUSION: This meta-analysis confirmed that the GALAD model has excellent diagnostic performance for early-stage and all-stage HCC and can maintain high sensitivity and specificity in early-stage HCC. Therefore, the GALAD model is qualified for screening early-stage canceration from chronic liver disease.PMID:38759033 | DOI:10.3233/THC-231470 (Source: Technology and Health Care)

Isobutyric acid enhances the anti-tumour effect of anti-PD-1 antibody
Sci Rep. 2024 May 17;14(1):11325. doi: 10.1038/s41598-024-59677-1.ABSTRACTThe low response rate of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) is a challenge. The efficacy of ICIs is influenced by the tumour microenvironment, which is controlled by the gut microbiota. In particular, intestinal bacteria and their metabolites, such as short chain fatty acids (SCFAs), are important regulators of cancer immunity; however, our knowledge on the effects of individual SCFAs remains limited. Here, we show that isobutyric acid has the strongest effect among SCFAs on both immune activity and tumour growth. In vitro, cancer cell numbers were ...

Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE) Combined with Lenvatinib versus TACE Alone in Intermediate-Stage Hepatocellular Carcinoma Patients Beyond Up-To-Seven Criteria: A Retrospective, Propensity Score-Matched Analysis
CONCLUSION: The combination of TACE and lenvatinib provides clinical benefits for patients with intermediate HCC beyond the up-to-seven criteria, has an acceptable safety profile, shows a trend towards improving liver function, and does not increase the occurrence of grade 3-4 AEs.KEY POINTS: The efficacy of transarterial chemoembolization in intermediate-stage hepatocellular carcinoma patients is partially unsatisfactory. Addition of lenvatinib to transarterial chemoembolization improves OS, PFS, ORR, and DCR for patients with intermediate-stage hepatocellular carcinoma beyond the up-to-seven criteria. This combination th...

Investigating the molecular mechanisms of microRNA ‑409‑3p in tumor progression: Towards targeted therapeutics (Review)
Int J Oncol. 2024 Jul;65(1):67. doi: 10.3892/ijo.2024.5655. Epub 2024 May 17.ABSTRACTMicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a group of non‑coding RNAs that exert master regulatory functions in post‑-transcriptional gene expression. Accumulating evidence shows that miRNAs can either promote or suppress tumorigenesis by regulating different target genes or pathways and may be involved in the occurrence of carcinoma. miR‑409‑3p is dysregulated in a variety of malignant cancers. It plays a fundamental role in numerous cellular biological processes, such as cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, invasion, autophagy, angiogenesis and...
