Comparison of Diagnostic Utilities in a Canine Retrobulbar Large B-Cell Lymphoma With Multifocal Involvement. (PubMed, Vet Med Sci)
Chemotherapy with l-asparaginase, vincristine, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin and prednisone was initiated; however, neurological symptoms developed after the first cycle. Subsequent cerebrospinal fluid cytology and flow cytometry suggested central nervous system involvement in the lymphoma, and the dog was euthanized owing to disease progression despite the addition of lomustine. To our knowledge, this is the first report of bilateral retrobulbar large B-cell lymphoma with multifocal involvement in a dog. A comprehensive assessment of diagnostic modalities is essential to diagnose extranodal lymphoma and assess extranodal involvement.

Treatment strategies and innovation for recurrent high-grade glioma. (PubMed, J Neurooncol)
Despite poor overall outcomes, incremental progress across targeted, immune, and delivery-based approaches supports a patient centered strategy emphasizing clinical-trial enrollment, molecular profiling and symptom focused care.

Selection of tumor invasion-related genes to build a prognostic model and predict immune response and potential drugs for esophageal cancer patients based on WGCNA. (PubMed, Discov Oncol)
The 10-gene prognostic model can independently predict patients' prognosis. The great correlation between ZC3H12B and multiple feature genes and immune cells may be tightly linked to EC progression.

Fast Evolving Glioblastoma in a Pregnant Woman: Diagnostic and Therapeutic Challenges. (PubMed, Diagnostics (Basel))
After surgery, the patient showed resistance to Stupp protocol therapy, which was substituted with lomustine and bevacizumab combination therapy. This case illustrates that glioma may progress rapidly during pregnancy, but a favorable obstetric outcome is achievable. Management of similar cases should respect both the need for timely treatment and the patient's informed decision.
