Treatment with immunosuppressants such as corticosteroids, hydroxychloroquine, and azathioprine resulted in symptomatic improvement. However, the disease course was complicated by constrictive pericarditis requiring pericardiectomy and later inflammatory arthritis requiring escalation of immunosuppression. This case highlights the importance of considering autoimmune etiologies in patients with unexplained multisystem effusions and elevated tumor markers, thereby avoiding misdiagnosis and unnecessary oncological interventions.
Patients receiving long-term HCQ/SSZ therapy generally showed improved clinical outcomes. This study suggests that HCQ/SSZ may reverse chemoresistance by reprogramming the inflammatory-immune microenvironment, offering a molecular rationale for further investigation into their repurposing as chemosensitizers and maintenance therapies in OC.
Late autophagy inhibition using hydroxychloroquine broadly sensitized both morphotypes, reducing enlarged cells. Notably, the senolytics dasatinib preferentially eliminated E-state cells. These findings highlight the plasticity and heterogeneity of TMZ-induced senescent glioblastoma cells and emphasize the need for selective senotherapeutic strategies aiming to attenuate the pro-tumor effects exerted by SnCs on the tumor microenvironment.

Patient was managed acutely with calcitonin and was started on prednisone and hydroxychloroquine. The co-occurrence of both MEN 2A and sarcoidosis is rare, adding an unexpected layer of complexity to the diagnosis. The rarity of sarcoidosis co-occurring with MEN 2A highlights the importance of considering a broad differential diagnosis, even in patients with known genetic syndromes, to ensure accurate management.
