Most malignant tumors of the penis are squamous cell carcinomas (SCC), being divided in 2 groups, one human papillomavirus (HPV)-related and another non-HPV-related, with lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma (LELC) being one of the rarest HPV-related SCC. In this article, we report a case of a 50-year-old man who presented testicular swelling and pain for the past 3 months. A penile mass was identified, and the patient was submitted to a total penectomy. The penectomy specimen showed an ulcerated lesion at the glans reaching the cavernous bodies. Microscopic examination showed undifferentiated epithelial cells with syncytial growth pattern mix with a dense lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate, consistent with LELC. The tumor cells expressed p16 and all 3 different clones of PDL1 (22C3, SP263, and SP142). The patient is alive and well with a follow-up of 3 months. To our knowledge, this is the third LELC of the penis reported in literature and the first case reported with PDL1 expression.

Current approaches to the treatment of patients with metastatic malignant tumors have changed significantly over the past decade. Instead of a purely palliative systemic or just supportive therapy, a large proportion of patients receive an aggressive local treatment directed not only to the primary tumor, but also to metastatic foci, and a number of studies demonstrate the advantage of such approach. This review provides information on the role of radiation therapy as a local method of treatment of cancer patients with oligometastases.

In the past several years an increased number of lung tumors has been reported in laboratory studies of rats and mice after lifetime exposure to mainstream cigarette smoke. Proliferative epithelial lesions are present in the lungs of both species and are apparent antecedent lesions to benign and malignant tumors. Both species have alveolar epithelia hyperplasia, alveolar adenomas, and alveolar carcinomas. The incidence of all three are more in the rats. In addition, mice also have bronchiolar epithelial hyperplasia and bronchial papillomas not found in rats. Rats have a low incidence of squamous cyst that is not found in mice. Lung tumors in rats and mice are found at the end of the life span and rarely metastasize. The characteristics of the lung tumors, and the proliferative changes associated with the tumors, are important in helping understand the mechanisms of lung cancer induction. These studies in rats and mice allow new approaches to the study of cigarette smoke–induced changes in the lung.

Thyroid cancer is the most common malignant tumor of the endocrine system. An increase in the incidence of thyroid cancer has been noted over the past decade, mainly due to papillary cancer. The influence of environmental factors, increased availability of medical care, including sensitive diagnostic tests, such as ultrasound and fine - needle aspiration (FNA), can affect the fact of the growth of this incidence. Palpation of thyroid gland has very low diagnostic value for detecting thyroid cancer, while thyroid ultrasound and FNA can detect malignant tumors in 20% of cases. Today, the FNA is the fastest, most accurate, economically accessible, and quite safe method for cytological diagnosis of the thyroid nodules. And molecular genetic testing of FNA samples could serve as an additional reliable diagnostic tool in the case of atypia of undetermined significance.

Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors of head and neck cancers. In the past decades, although the therapy strategies of LSCC have made considerable improvement, the terrible outcomes of LSCC still bring an enormous burden to the world health care system. Novel therapeutic targets for LSCC are urgently needed. lncRNAs exert important roles in various biological progressions, including LSCC. Here, we aimed to investigate the function of lncRNA PVT1 in LSCC progression and its underlying molecular mechanisms. By conducting multiple experiments, our results showed that lncRNA PVT1 was upregulated in LSCC cell lines and regulated LSCC cell proliferation, apoptosis, and its cell susceptibility to natural killer (NK) cells. Moreover, it was found that lncRNA PVT1 promotes MBNL1 expression to regulate LSCC cellular progression through sponging miR-1301-3p. Our study might provide novel targets for LSCC basic research or clinical management.
