Laparoscopic Ovarian Transposition in Rectal Cancer: More than Just Oncological OutcomesAbstractLocally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) is treated with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy which down stages tumor and improves complete resection rates thus reducing local recurrences. Pelvic radiotherapy improves oncological outcomes; however, it is associated with ovarian irradiation and premature menopause. This has a consequence to fertility and hormone preservation in young women diagnosed with locally...

Primary Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor of the Trachea: a Case Report with Brief Review of LiteratureAbstractMalignant schwannoma, also called malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST), is a rare and aggressive tumor arising from the nerve sheath. We describe a rare case of endotracheal malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor occurring in a middle-aged male who presented with asthma-like symptoms for 6 months with progressively increasing dyspnea. A computed tomogram (CT) scan of the...
A Leiomyosarcoma of Inferior Vena Cava Presenting as a Liver Metastasis Mass in a Patient with History of Transitional Cell CarcinomaAbstractThe most probable diagnosis for a newly detected mass in the cancer patients is secondary metastasis. However, the multiple primary tumors should not be off the table of diagnoses. In this study, a 70-year-old man with the history of transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) was reported who had been referred due to a newly detected mass in the hepatic segment one which...
Isolated Midbrain Metastasis from Breast Cancer: a Classic Spotter DiagnosisAbstractIsolated midbrain metastasis from breast cancer is a rare occurrence. We present a classical clinical image of a woman who presented with breast cancer with synchronous isolated midbrain metastasis.
Donut Mastopexy LumpectomyAbstractAdvancements in oncoplastic techniques have enhanced commitment to restore shape and, hence, has improved cosmetic outcomes. Donut mastopexy lumpectomy is one such technique and is best utilized in a setting of a malignancy not extending to the skin or the nipple-areolar complex. As a potential alternative to standard lumpectomy, it has many advantages including restriction of scar to the periareolar region, ease and rapidity of surgery, retention of nipple-areolar...
Malignant Melanoma: Autoimmunity and Supracellular Messaging as New Therapeutic ApproachesOpinion statementMelanoma is one of the most aggressive forms of cancer, with a high mortality rate in the absence of a safe and curable therapy. As a consequence, several procedures have been tested over time, with the most recent (immunological and targeted) therapies proving to be effective in some patients. Unfortunately, these new treatment options continue to generate debate related to the therapeutic...
Pain in Cancer Survivors: How to ManageOpinion statementManaging pain in cancer survivors requires that oncologists understand the common painful syndromes that can occur from treatment or disease. Assessment no longer singularly focuses on pain characteristics (e.g., intensity, quality, location), now incorporating a strong focus on functional impairment and potential improvement that might occur with adequate treatment. Improvement in function is now the goal used to measure success. In addition,...
Cancer and Coronary Artery Disease: Common Associations, Diagnosis and Management ChallengesOpinion statementCoronary artery disease (CAD) and cancer often occur in the same patients via common biological pathways and shared risk factors. A variety of chemotherapeutic agents and radiotherapy can influence the development and progression of CAD. The diagnosis of ischaemic heart disease may be challenging in certain cases such as premature CAD secondary to radiotherapy. The management of CAD in cancer...
Cardiotoxicity of Contemporary Breast Cancer TreatmentsOpinion statementTreatment-related cardiotoxicity remains a significant concern for breast cancer patients undergoing cancer treatment and extends into the survivorship period, with adverse cardiovascular (CV) outcomes further compounded by the presence of pre-existing CV disease or traditional CV risk factors. Awareness of the cardiotoxicity profiles of contemporary breast cancer treatments and optimization of CV risk factors are crucial in...
Multimodality Therapy of Patients with Refractory MeningiomasOpinion statementRecurrent and refractory meningiomas are a clinical challenge and treatment at the time of recurrence is not well delineated. Treatment with surgery and/or radiation remain the mainstay, but each has their limitations and risks. The search for an adjuvant systemic therapy continues and as many of the initially promising approaches have not had reproducible responses. Bevacizumab has shown some efficacy in controlling recurrent...
The Role of CDK4/6 Inhibitors in Breast CancerOpinion statementOral inhibitors of CDK4/6 have been shown to increase response rates and prolong disease control when combined with endocrine therapy in hormone-responsive (HR+) HER2-negative advanced breast cancer. Palbociclib, ribociclib and abemaciclib are all approved in combination with non-steroidal aromatase inhibitors in first-line therapy for post-menopausal women, with a 40–45% improvement in progression-free survival seen with the addition...
Diagnosis and Management of Subcutaneous Soft Tissue SarcomaOpinion statementThe proper diagnosis and treatment planning for subcutaneous soft tissue sarcoma is very important. Soft tissue tumors can occur anywhere in the body, but if they occur subcutaneously, patients can easily notice a subcutaneous soft tissue mass. Therefore, it is possible to determine through recording, the growth speed of the mass, which is often difficult to obtain with deep-situated soft tissue masses. Palpation can also...
Pediatric Cardio-Oncology: Development of Cancer Treatment-Related Cardiotoxicity and the Therapeutic Approach to Affected PatientsOpinion statementThe past 5 decades have seen significant improvements in outcomes for pediatric patients with cancer. Unfortunately, children and adolescents who have been treated for cancer are five to six times more likely to develop cardiovascular disease as a result of their therapies. Cardiovascular disease may manifest in a plethora of ways, from asymptomatic ventricular...
QT Interval Prolongation Associated With Cytotoxic and Targeted Cancer TherapeuticsOpinion statementCardiovascular toxicities are potentially serious treatment limiting complications of many different cancer therapeutics including traditional cytotoxic chemotherapies as well as targeted- and immunotherapies.

Resveratrol and siRNA in combination reduces Hsp27 expression and induces caspase-3 activity in human glioblastoma cellsAbstractGBM cells can easily gain resistance to conventional therapy, and therefore treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is difficult. One of the hallmark proteins known to be responsible for this resistance is heat shock protein 27 (Hsp27) which has a key role in the cell survival. Resveratrol, a natural compound, exhibits antitumor effects against GBM, but there are no reports...
HSP72 expression is specific to skeletal muscle contraction typeAbstractExercise is capable of inducing the cellular stress response and increasing skeletal muscle heat shock protein (HSP) content. HSPs function as molecular chaperones and play roles in facilitating protein folding thereby contributing to muscle proteostasis. To determine the relationship between muscle contraction types, muscle damage, and HSP content, one tibialis anterior (TA) muscle from male Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 5/group)...

Expression and localization of heat-shock proteins during skeletal muscle cell proliferation and differentiation and the impact of heat stressAbstractSkeletal myogenesis is a coordinated sequence of events associated with dramatic changes in cell morphology, motility, and metabolism, which causes cellular stress and alters proteostasis. Chaperones, such as heat-shock proteins (HSPs), play important roles in limiting cellular stresses and maintaining proteostasis, but whether HSPs are specifically...
Hippo/Mst1 overexpression induces mitochondrial death in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma via activating β-catenin/Drp1 pathwayAbstractMammalian Ste20-like kinase 1 (Mst1) is associated with cell apoptosis. In the current study, we explored the regulatory effects of Mst1 on squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) in vitro. SCCHN Cal27 cells and Tu686 cells were transfected with adenovirus-loaded Mst1 to detect the role of Mst1 in cell viability. Then, siRNA against Drp1 was transfected...
