    Abstract Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common primary brain tumour in adults and continues to portend poor survival, despite multimodal treatment using surgery and chemoradiotherapy. The addition of tumour-treating fields (TTFields)-an approach in which alternating electrical fields exert biophysical force on charged and polarisable molecules known as dipoles-to standard therapy, has been shown to extend survival for patients with newly diagnosed GBM, recurrent GBM and mesothelioma, leading to the clinical approval of this approach by the FDA. TTFields represent a non-invasive anticancer modality consisting of low-intensity (1-3 V/cm), intermediate-frequency (100-300 kHz), alternating electric fields delivered via cutaneous transducer arrays configured to provide optimal tumour-site coverage. Although TTFields were initially demonstrated to inhibit cancer cell proliferation by interfering with mitotic apparatus, it is becoming increasingly clear that TTFields show a broad mechanism of action by disrupting a multitude of biological processes, including DNA repair, cell permeability and immunological responses, to elicit therapeutic effects. This review describes advances in our current understanding of the mechanisms by which TTFields mediate anticancer effects. Additionally, we summarise the landscape of TTFields clinical trials across various cancers and consider how emerging preclinical data might inform future clinical applications for TTFields.

    Abstract With the recent publication of a new World Health Organization brain tumour classification that reflects increased understanding of glioma tumour genetics, there is a need for radiologists to understand the changes and their implications for patient management. There has also been an increasing trend for adopting earlier, more aggressive surgical approaches to low-grade glioma (LGG) treatment. We will summarize these changes, give some context to the increased role of tumour genetics and discuss the associated implications of their adoption for radiologists. We will discuss the earlier and more radical surgical resection of LGG and what it means for patients undergoing imaging.

    Abstract We report a case of metastatic mesothelioma presenting as an oral metastasis in a 46-year-old patient. The patient presented with 2 polypoid lesions that appeared to be benign on the dorsum of the tongue. Excisional biopsy showed the presence of metastatic carcinoma that on further investigation proved to be mesothelioma. The initial presentation of mesothelioma as an oral metastasis is not previously reported. This article highlights the importance of biopsy and histopathological diagnosis in presumed benign lesions and the role of the general dental practitioner in screening for oral neoplasms.
