    Abstract In the past decade, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have entered the treatment landscape of non-small-cell lung cancer, signalling a paradigm shift within the field characterized by significant survival benefits for patients with advanced and metastatic disease, and especially those with non-targetable genetic oncogenic driver mutations. However, the shift towards immune-based treatments has created new challenges in oncology. Atypical immunotherapy response patterns, including pseudo-progression and hyperprogressive disease, as well as immune-related adverse events have generated the need for new methods to predict patient response to treatment. Hence, new versions of the traditional Response Evaluation Criteria for Solid Tumors (RECIST) have emerged to help characterise with better accuracy radiological findings concerning patient response classification to immunotherapy. This review discusses response evaluation criteria relevant to unique radiological findings observed in patients treated with immunotherapy for non-small-cell lung cancer.

    Abstract Background: Metaplastic Breast Cancer (MpBC) is an exceedingly rare entity, accounting for less than 1% of all malignant breast tumours. Predominantly triple-negative, they are notorious for their chemoresistance, high rates of recurrence and decreased disease-free survival (DFS). All this contributes significantly to BC mortality and results in poor prognostic implications. Limited evidence has led to a lacuna of specific treatment guidelines for this entity and hence remains an uncharted territory for clinicians.
    Case: We report a case of a 46 year old premenopausal female with left-sided metaplastic triple negative T3N2aM0 BC with mesenchymal differentiation (high grade) whom we treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy, primary surgery in the form of extreme oncoplasty and adjuvant radiotherapy by Telecobalt machine. Contrary to the expected aggressive course of the disease and poor prognosis of treatment, the patient is presently in remission without progression for over 2 years of follow up.
    Conclusion: Limited experience in management of this pathological entity warrants the need for more research on it, with a special focus on targeted therapy. Discussing possibilities of a tailored approach, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach may aid in paving the path for the future of MpBC treatment.

    Abstract Primary breast neuroendocrine neoplasms (BNENs) are a rare form of breast cancer, accounting for less than 0.1% of all breast malignancies. These neoplasms have a similar clinical presentation as conventional breast carcinomas, differing mainly in their histopathology and expression of neuroendocrine (NE) markers, chromogranin and synaptophysin. Owing to their rarity, current knowledge of these tumours comes mainly from corroborative case reports or retrospective case series. There is hence a lack of randomised data on the treatment of these entities and current protocol suggests similar treatment as that of conventional breast carcinomas. We report the case of a 48-year-old with a breast mass, which on further work-up was diagnosed as locally advanced carcinoma breast, that required a mastectomy and axillary node dissection on the same side and revealed NE differentiation on histopathological examination. Hence, immunohistochemical staining was indicated which confirmed NE differentiation. We discuss the current knowledge on incidence, demographics, diagnosis, histopathological and staining characteristics, prognostic factors and treatment modalities of BNENs.

    Abstract The technological capability of artificial intelligence (AI) continues to advance with great strength. Recently, the release of large language models has taken the world by storm with concurrent excitement and concern. As a consequence of their impressive ability and versatility, their provide a potential opportunity for implementation in oncology. Areas of possible application include supporting clinical decision making, education, and contributing to cancer research. Despite the promises that these novel systems can offer, several limitations and barriers challenge their implementation. It is imperative that concerns, such as accountability, data inaccuracy, and data protection, are addressed prior to their integration in oncology. As the progression of artificial intelligence systems continues, new ethical and practical dilemmas will also be approached; thus, the evaluation of these limitations and concerns will be dynamic in nature. This review offers a comprehensive overview of the potential application of large language models in oncology, as well as concerns surrounding their implementation in cancer care.

    Abstract Herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) oesophagitis as an aetiology of persistent hiccough is a rarity in immunocompetent hosts and entails an exhaustive diagnostic work-up, since it does not present with any of the typical oesophagitis symptoms. Our patient presented with persistent hiccoughs that were resistant to treatment with baclofen. Oesophagogastroduodenoscopy with biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of HSV-1 oesophagitis. The hiccough subsided within 48 h of aciclovir therapy.

    Abstract Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a deadly disease with a poor prognosis due to late diagnosis and limited treatment options. Immunotherapy (IT) is emerging as a promising approach, especially after the failure of standard of care therapies (STs). The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate whether the addition of IT to STs improves outcomes for patients with HNSCC, including overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and quality of life (QoL). This review employed the Population Intervention Comparison and Outcome (PICO) framework to identify relevant search terms in electronic databases, and also included supplementary hand searches. Six primary research articles were selected using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) flow chart, and were critically appraised. Data extraction from these studies was conducted, and a meta-analysis was performed to aid in the generation of forest plots. The addition of IT to standard anticancer therapies was found to enhance patient outcomes, such as OS, PFS, and QoL. The toxicity profile of IT was acceptable, with minimal treatment-related deaths. The most frequently observed adverse events (AE) were related to the skin, followed by hematological toxicities. Based on our analysis, the addition of IT to STs is a suitable treatment option and is supported by current research. However, further studies are needed to investigate factors that influence treatment effectiveness and to develop optimal therapies. To achieve this, we recommend a comprehensive treatment approach that involves the multidisciplinary team (MDT) and patient assessment tools.

    Abstract Objectives: Advanced breast cancer (ABC) is an incurable disease. The number of people living with ABC has increased globally. Disparities in ABC care exist at both individual and system levels. ABC cases in most low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are underreported due to a lack of national cancer registries. Harmonized guidelines for resource stratification and capacity building in LMICs are under way.
    Data sources: MEDLINE, Cochrane, and Google Scholar databases were used.
    Conclusion: To improve ABC outcomes and resolve disparities, more robust health systems or pathways need to be developed across the cancer continuum in addition to social education.
    Implications for nursing practice: So far, the ABC specialist nurse role has been variable globally, and to conquer such variability, an international online nurse education and training program is in practice.
