Due to its variable presentation and lack of associated B-symptoms, it is quite challenging to diagnose PCNSL, if there is not a high level of suspicion.Methods: This is a retrospective case series examining 13 human immunodeficiency virus- (HIV-) negative patients with PCNSL and DLBCL type, with a median age of 75 years old.Results: The most common presenting symptom was altered mental status. The frontal lobes, basal ganglia, cerebellum, and corpus callosum were most affected. Prior to brain biopsy, 4/13 patients were on steroids, which did not affect biopsy results and the average time to diagnosis was 1 month. 9/13 patients who did not receive steroids had an average time to diagnosis of less than 1 month.Conclusion: Although steroid administration did not appear to diminish the yield of the biopsy, it is a best practice to withhold steroids prior to biopsy to decrease the time to diagnose PCNSL.","PeriodicalId":9636,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Oncological Medicine","volume":"2023 ","pages":"8815502"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10205403/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9880507","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently, chemotherapy is the major kind of treatment, but it offers little advantage. Repurposed conventional drugs have recently been found to offer the ability to control cancer with few side effects and at a reasonable cost to healthcare organizations. Case Presentation. In this case report, we present the case of a 41-year-old Thai female patient diagnosed with recurrent platinum-resistant clear-cell ovarian cancer (PRCCC) in the year 2020. After undergoing chemotherapy for two courses and failing to respond to treatment, she began alternative medicine with repurposing drugs in November 2020. Simvastatin, metformin, niclosamide, mebendazole, itraconazole, loratadine, and chloroquine were also administered. Two months after therapy, a computerized tomography (CT) scan revealed a conflict between a decline in tumor marker levels (CA 125, CA 19-9) and an increase in the number of lymph nodes. However, after continuing all medications for 4 months, the CA 125 level decreased from 303.6 to 54 U/ml, and the CA 19-9 level decreased from 1210.3 to 386.10 U/ml. The patient's EQ-5D-5L score increased from 0.631 to 0.829 (abdominal pain and depression), indicating improved quality of life. Overall survival was 8.5 months, and progression-free survival was 2 months.Conclusion: The response to drug repurposing is demonstrated by a four-month-long improvement in symptoms. This work introduces a novel strategy for the management of recurrent platinum-resistant clear-cell ovarian cancer that needs further evaluation in large-scale studies.","PeriodicalId":9636,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Oncological Medicine","volume":"2023 ","pages":"2079654"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10266906/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10028782","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is commonly reported in Caucasian ethnicities, and almost 50% of the patients have a concomitant malignancy and are on immunosuppressive chemotherapy. Here, we present a 79-year-old woman with a history of relapsed Stage II, grade III follicular lymphoma, receiving maintenance rituximab infusions. She presented with a raised erythematous papule on her left cheek. An excisional biopsy of the lesion confirmed a diagnosis of Merkel cell carcinoma. After which, she underwent a wider excision with 1-2 cm margins. PET scan did not reveal any FDG-avid uptake lesions that would be concerning for metastatic disease. However, she underwent a sentinel lymph node biopsy which was also negative. Thus, the diagnosis was finalized as Stage I (T1 N0 M0) MCC. There are only two reported cases in literature about the significant progression of Merkel cell carcinoma in patients who coincidentally were receiving rituximab as a part of treatment for another disease. This raises questions for future investigation and research on whether there is a direct association between rituximab use specifically and the rapid growth of MCC.","PeriodicalId":9636,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Oncological Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"1814338"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9649309/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40471622","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
