Ovarian sex-cord stromal tumours and small cell tumours: pathological, genetic and management aspects
Non-epithelial ovarian cancers (NEOC) constitute a group of uncommon malignancies and their treatment is still a challenging task. Collectively, these tumours account for about 10% of all ovarian cancers and occur in all age groups from childhood to old-age. They include malignancies of germ cell origin, sex cord-stromal cell origin, and a variety of extremely rare ovarian cancers, such as small-cell carcinomas and sarcomas. Each of these classifications encompasses multiple histologic subtypes. (Source: Critical Reviews in Oncology Hematology)

Emerging roles for long noncoding RNAs in B-cell development and malignancy
Long noncoding (lnc)RNAs have emerged as essential mediators of cellular biology, differentiation and malignant transformation. LncRNAs have a broad range of possible functions at the transcriptional, posttranscriptional and protein level and their aberrant expression significantly contributes to the hallmarks of cancer cell biology. In addition, their high tissue- and cell-type specificity makes lncRNAs especially interesting as biomarkers, prognostic factors or specific therapeutic targets. Here, we review current knowledge on lncRNA expression changes during normal B-cell development, indicating essential functions in t...

Critical features and challenges associated with imaging in patients undergoing cancer immunotherapy
Manipulating an individual ’s immune system through immune checkpoint blockade is revolutionizing the paradigms of cancer treatment. Peculiar patterns and kinetics of response have been observed with these new drugs, rendering the assessment of tumor burden particularly challenging in cancer immunotherapy. The mechanisms of action for immune checkpoint blockade, based upon engagement of the adaptive immune system, can generate unusual response patterns, including pseudoprogression, hyperprogression, atypical and delayed responses.

TERT promoter mutation and its interaction with IDH mutations in glioma: Combined TERT promoter and IDH mutations stratifies lower-grade glioma into distinct survival subgroups —A meta-analysis of aggregate data
Gliomas are common brain tumors in both adults and children (Louis et al., 2016). For decades, the classification and the standard clinical approach to gliomas have been largely based on the histological features of these tumors (Louis et al., 2016). However, a wide range of clinical heterogeneities have been observed among tumors within the same histologic type (Eckel-Passow et al., 2015). These inconsistencies in the clinical course and outcome of gliomas within the same histologic type have been one of the major challenges in the clinical practice of neuro-oncology (Chan et al., 2015b).

Systematic literature review of health-related quality of life in locally-advanced non-small cell lung cancer: has it yet become state-of-the-art?
Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer death globally (Ferlay et al., 2015). Currently, non-small cell lung cancer accounts for more than 80% of all lung cancers, of which the vast majority presents with advanced disease stages and 30 –35% has locally-advanced disease (LA-NSCLC) at diagnosis. Choosing the optimal treatment for these patients is difficult because of the large heterogeneity in disease extend and pathology, as well as in co-morbidity and general condition of each individual patient (Stinchcombe and Socinski, 2009) .
