TSC has mutations in two suppressor genes, i.e. TSC1 & TSC2, responsible for developing a wide range of hamartomatous lesions [1]. Recent evidence suggests that the TSC genes play an important role in the pathway whose dysregulation leads to an array of epithelial malignancies. TSC 1 mutation is mainly identified in sporadic tumours of epithelial cells that indicate important phenotypic changes resulting from modulation of the hamartin expression. Here we present a case diagnosed with carcinoma gall bladder and having tuberous sclerosis complex defining the co-relation.","PeriodicalId":372137,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cancer Research Reviews & Reports","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121969849","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has a primary complaint and a history of firm and cold swelling at the caudal part of mandible on the lateral side of neck region that has spent over four years. Aspiration of the swelling with a sterile 16 gauge needle with syringe didn’t detect or withdrawn any of the contents (pus, fluid, blood and other). Cytological examination of tissue smears resulted immature and irregular shaped cells which have large darker nucleus. Based on history, clinical signs and cytological staining result, the case was diagnosed as subcutaneous benign tumor which is differentially diagnosed from abscess, oedema, cascious lymph adenitis and haematoma. It was managed by surgical resection and intramuscular injection of penicillin G procaine with wound spray topically for three successive days. Complete recovery of the ox was achieved after three weeks. Surgical resection accompanied with topical application and parenteral administration of antibiotics can give successful outcome on the management of localized subcutaneous benign tumours after proper identification and effective analgesics.","PeriodicalId":372137,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cancer Research Reviews & Reports","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124338162","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As of the end of 2021, more than a hundred of clinical trials have been carried out by several major drug makers and research hospitals all over the world just to explore the use of ICI antibodies in almost every type of cancer and under various clinical settings. These clinical trials have resulted waves of good news in every year’s major academic conferences and FDA approvals, and now ICI therapy is in the move to take over traditional therapy to become the major player in clinical management of cancer. On the other hand, most of these clinical trials have failed to show clear benefits in most cancer patients, and only few have been reported in public. In real-world clinical setting, ICI antibodies are being massively and sometimes abusively prescribed for almost every desperate situation with clear clinical benefit in only a few (<10%). Yet, the enthusiasm behind ICI therapy is not dampened by the massive clinical failure but has been growing. The reason for the consistent enthusiasm among clinicians and patients is the miracle-like clinical responses seen in some of the responders that even including late-stage hopeless cases. Every clinician wants to repeat this miracle in the next seemingly identical patient, and every patient and their family members want to believe that they are in line for that miracle. But the reality is disheartening in that clinicians do not see the predictable repeat of miracle-like responses in seemingly identical patients and most patients selecting ICI therapy as the last straw in life did not benefit from it, if not hurt by it. What then are the reasons that ICI therapy is so impressive when working and so unpredictable in responses? This review attempts to draw some mechanistic aspects based on our own experiences in ICI therapy and to come up with a different explanation for the unexplained clinical observations. The goal of this review is to alert the clinical field about the danger and irreversible damages that wrongly used ICI antibodies may cause, and at the same time to introduce some preliminary criteria to select proper patient for the benefits and to avoid the harms of ICI therapy.","PeriodicalId":372137,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cancer Research Reviews &amp; Reports","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130375141","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gastric intestinal metaplasia, an intermediate step in gastric carcinogenesis, is generally regarded as a pre-malignant lesion. Gastric intestinal metaplasia is a precancerous modification of the mucosa of the stomach with intestinal epithelium and is associated with an expanded danger of dysplasia and cancer. The study aimed to compare and evaluate the combined alcian blue –PAS and Hematoxylin and Eosin, in the detection of gastric intestinal metaplasia among Sudanese patients with chronic gastritis. Two hundred tissue sections were cut from 100 formalin-fixed paraffinembedded Blocks (n=100) were collected from patients who attended El-mek Nimir University Hospital & Specialized Centers at Shendi locality- River Nile State between June to December 2021, and thereafter processed and examined histopathologically, all blocks were cut into (3 micrometers) by using SLEE-MAINZ,-CUT4060 microtome. And spread in a water bath then put in coated glass slides, then all sections deparaffinized in xylene and rehydrated through descending grade of alcohols, then water.100 tissue sections were stained by hematoxylin and eosin technique and 100 were stained by combined alcian blue –PAS stain technique. Combine Alcian blue & PAS is more detected the Gastric Intestinal Metaplasia compared to H& E was observed among chronic gastritis patients in Combine Alcian blue & PAS technique positive in 19 (19%) cases and negative in 81(81%) , by routine H& E is positive in 11 (11%) , cases and negative in 89 (89%) cases and the overall prevalence of gastric intestinal Metaplasia was 19%, from which 12 (63.1%) among female, and 7 (36.8%) were male and the age they classify into three groups A (10-40 years) group B (41-70 years) group C (71-100 years) the result of GIM positive rate was found 2 (6.6) , 10(23.3%) , 7 (25.9%) respectively. On the other hand, the sensitivity of H& E in the detection of (GIM) was 70.3 % and specificity was 100%. The study concluded that combining Alcian blue & PAS is more detected and sensitive in the detection of gastric intestinal metaplasia among Sudanese Patients with chronic gastritis compared to H& E. Additionally, The most positive rate was among females and within the age group (41-70) years old was observed. This may direct the clinicians and researchers to it could be better to use combined Alcian blue & PAS in diagnosing Gastric Intestinal Metaplasia and look for more information about the detection of gastric intestinal metaplasia.","PeriodicalId":372137,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cancer Research Reviews &amp; Reports","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124990915","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We aimed to apply artificial neural networks (ANN) as a predictive tool for prolonged operating time in laparoscopic colorectal surgery. Methods: A dedicated, prospectively populated database of elective laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery with curative intent was utilised. Primary endpoint was the prediction of operative time. Variables included in the network were: age, gender, ASA, BMI, stage, location of cancer, and neoadjuvant therapy. A multi-layered perceptron ANN (MLPNN) model was trained and tested alongside unit and multivariate analyses. Results: Data from 554 patients were included. 400 (72.2%) were used for ANN training and 154 (27.8%) to test predictive accuracy. 59.3% male, mean age 70 years, and BMI of 26. 161 (29%) were ASA III. 261 (47%) had rectal cancer and 8.5% underwent neoadjuvant treatment. Mean operative time was 218 minutes (95% CI 210-226) with 436 (78.7%) of less than 5 hours and 16% conversion rate. ANN accurately identified and predicted operative timing overall 87%, and those having surgery less than 5 hours with an accuracy of 93.3%; AUC 0.843 and 93.3%. The ANN findings were accurately cross-validated with a logistic regression model. Conclusion: Artificial neural network using patient demographic and tumour data successfully predicted the timing of surgery and the likelihood of prolonged laparoscopic procedures. This finding could assist the personalisation of peri-operative care to enhance the efficiency of theatre utilisation.","PeriodicalId":372137,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cancer Research Reviews &amp; Reports","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133673060","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This abstract describes the creation of Life in the Lab. The day we discovered that the RNA, a molecule that codes for Life, can self-replicate, self-organize and self-evolve, it also has the ability not only to store the information like DNA, can catalyze reaction like protein, we know that we embark on a New-World Order to create Life in the Lab. The New World Order would be based on the truth, experimental evidence, facts, reproducible and verifiable results. The Old Word Order of the seven-day creation of Life on Earth was imagined by our elders based on beliefs, fiction, magic, mystery without any evidence without any verifiable proofs. What the New World Order discovered is that the essence of Life is information, and the information is located on four organic molecules called nucleotides and they are Adenine, Thiamine, Guanine and Cytosine. They are found in the nucleus of all living creatures from a tiny blade of grass to mighty Elephant including, Man, Mouse, Monkey and Microbes. The greatest achievement is that we could not only synthesize these molecules in our Labs, but also, we could arrange them in a specific order of three letter called Codon which codes for an Amino acid. The four-nucleotide text could be arranged in sixty-four different combinations to code for all twenty amino acids to make proteins that perform all our body functions. Thousands of proteins interact to make a Cell. Millions of Cells interact to make a Tissue and hundreds of Tissues interact to make an Organ and several Organs interact to make a Human. Once we synthesize RNA molecule in the Lab, we can create novel microbial life forms, a series of biological machines which carry instructions to produce new food, new fuel, and new medicine to treat every disease known to mankind.","PeriodicalId":372137,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cancer Research Reviews &amp; Reports","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125729617","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Primary gastric lymphoma accounts for less than 5% of gastric cancers. They are usually non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas (NHL), but have been considered as a separate entity from NHLs of peripheral nodes. The diagnosis of primary lymphoma of stomach requires histological confirmation without any evidence of peripheral lymphadenopathy or organomegaly. Secondary gastric lymphoma indicates the involvement of the stomach by a diffuse lymphoma developed elsewhere. We report a 60 years old male presented with intermittent vomiting and reflux symptoms. Upper GI endoscopy showed large hard mass with superficial ulceration in the fundus of stomach. Histopathology showed lymphoproliferative disorder.
