Whole-exome sequencing unveils novel potential gene mutations involved in primary renal small cell carcinoma. (PubMed, Oncol Lett)
To ensure the reliability and generalizability of genetic alterations detected by WES, additional PRSCC samples, along with cell and animal experiments, are warranted to confirm the role of these genetic variants (particularly HYDIN) in PRSCC pathogenesis. The functional role of HYDIN mutations in PRSCC pathogenesis requires further validation in future research.

Mixed Neuroendocrine-Non-Neuroendocrine Neoplasm of the Esophagogastric Junction with Enteroblastic Differentiation and Morphologic-Immunophenotypic Discordance: A Case Report with Five-Year Disease-Free Survival. (PubMed, Surg Case Rep)
This case illustrates an exceptionally rare MiNEN of the EGJ with enteroblastic differentiation and morphologic-immunophenotypic discordance. Despite the presence of aggressive histologic features, long-term disease-free survival was achieved with surgical resection alone. This report highlights the importance of thorough histopathological and immunohistochemical evaluation for accurate diagnosis and suggests that curative surgery alone may provide durable disease control in carefully selected patients with localized disease.

Advances in Delta-like Ligand 3-Targeted Diagnosis and Treatment. (PubMed, Mol Pharm)
The two modalities are mutually reinforcing and hold promise for advancing the precision diagnosis and clinical translation of DLL3-targeted strategies in NENs. This review summarizes recent key advancements in DLL3-targeted nuclear medicine and discusses future directions for DLL3 ImmunoPET imaging and TRT.

Long-read sequencing identifies aberrant fragmentation patterns linked to elevated cell-free DNA levels in cancer. (PubMed, Genome Biol)
These findings differentiate biological from artifactual fragmentation, broaden our understanding of high cfDNA levels and hyperfragmentation in cancer, and establish long-read sequencing as a robust tool for biomarker discovery.

False-positive ¹³¹I Uptake in a Carotid Body Tumor Mimicking Nodal Metastasis in Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma: Implications of Hybrid SPECT/CT. (PubMed, Clin Nucl Med)
SPECT/CT localized this unexpected uptake to the CBT, representing a rare false-positive finding. This case underscores the importance of correlating functional imaging with structural imaging to avoid misinterpretation of nonspecific radioiodine uptake as metastatic disease and prevent unnecessary therapeutic interventions.

Functional bowel disease symptoms and a de novo raised carcinoembryonic antigen: delayed diagnosis of medullary cell thyroid carcinoma. (PubMed, BMJ Case Rep)
The persistently rising CEA prompted a repeat colonoscopy, upper gastrointestinal and small bowel investigation and a CT of the abdomen and pelvis, without any cause being found. Finally, a CT-positron emission tomography scan revealed localised uptake in the thyroid gland, with a fine-needle aspiration confirming a diagnosis of medullary cell thyroid carcinoma with regional lymph node involvement.

A metabolomics and lipidomics atlas of pulmonary large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma. (PubMed, Biomed Pharmacother)
Collectively, these data define a hybrid metabolic phenotype bridging features of small and non-small cell lung cancer while revealing unique metabolic signatures of LCNEC. The resulting atlas provides a foundational resource for biomarker discovery and the development of metabolism-based therapeutic strategies in this understudied lung cancer subtype.
