    Abstract Lymphomas are the second most common neoplasm in the head and neck. The clinical and radiographic presentation of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in the oral cavity is non-specific and can be hard to differentiate from other common infectious or inflammatory conditions. We report four cases of lymphoma of the head and neck, which presented as odontogenic infection, osteomyelitis, or cutaneous infection, and subsequently led to a delay in provision of appropriate treatment. Correlation between clinical, radiographic and histological findings is essential in reaching an accurate diagnosis. It is important for clinicians to consider malignant lesions, such as lymphoma, in the differential diagnosis of pain, swelling, tooth mobility or radiographic radiolucencies. Clinicians should maintain a high level of suspicion for malignancy when inflammatory lesions fail to respond to normal modes of treatment.

    Abstract Sarcomas are complex mesenchymal neoplasms with a poor prognosis. Their clinical management is highly challenging due to their heterogeneity and insensitivity to current treatments. Although there have been advances in understanding specific genomic alterations and genetic mutations driving sarcomagenesis, the underlying molecular mechanisms, which are likely to be unique for each sarcoma subtype, are not fully understood. This is in part due to a lack of consensus on the cells of origin, but there is now mounting evidence that they originate from mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs). To identify novel treatment strategies for sarcomas, research in recent years has adopted a mechanism-based search for molecular markers for targeted therapy which has included recapitulating sarcomagenesis using in vitro and in vivo MSC models. This review provides a comprehensive up to date overview of the molecular mechanisms that underpin sarcomagenesis, the contribution of MSCs to modelling sarcomagenesis in vivo, as well as novel topics such as the role of epithelial-to-mesenchymal-transition (EMT)/mesenchymal-to-epithelial-transition (MET) plasticity, exosomes, and microRNAs in sarcomagenesis. It also reviews current therapeutic options including ongoing pre-clinical and clinical studies for targeted sarcoma therapy and discusses new therapeutic avenues such as targeting recently identified molecular pathways and key transcription factors.

    Abstract The increased success of small metal-containing molecules as pharmaceutical agents has prompted investigations into the pharmacological activity of a different class of metal-based compounds; supramolecular coordination complexes (SCCs). Such complexes have been extensively investigated for their anticancer activity, with many displaying activities comparable or superior to available clinical chemotherapeutic drugs. Here, we evaluated a series of quinoline-containing binuclear complexes and metallarectangles for their in vitro anticancer activity in the hormone receptor positive MCF-7 and triple negative MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell lines. The preliminary cytotoxic screen, in the MCF-7 cell line, revealed that the ligand (7-chloro-4-(pyridin-4-yl)quinoline, L) and metallarectangle [{Ir(μ-Cl)(Cp*)}

    Abstract As the global incidences of colorectal cancer rises, there is a growing importance in understanding the interaction between external factors, such as common infections, on the initiation and progression of this disease. While certain helminth infections have been shown to alter the severity and risk of developing colitis-associated colorectal cancer, whether these parasites can directly affect colorectal cancer progression is unknown. Here, we made use of murine and human colorectal cancer cell lines to demonstrate that exposure to antigens derived from the gastrointestinal nematode

    Abstract Introduction: Neuroendocrine tumours comprise 0.5-2% of all malignancies in adulthood, and very rarely metastasize to the oral cavity. When they do metastasize to the oral cavity, the mandible is the most common site. This can lead to symptoms such as a numb chin and lip, which in the absence of any odontogenic cause may be an important sign indicating malignant disease. We present a rare case of metastatic neuroendocrine carcinoma to the mandible, resulting in the so-called "numb chin syndrome".
    Presentation of case: An elderly lady presented with numbness to the right chin and lip, as well as hypoglossal nerve palsy. She had significant back pain and gave a history of repeat chest infections. Intra-oral clinical examination was normal, but upon further special investigations, the right mental region was suspicious of multiple lytic lesion. Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) demonstrated marrow changes in the mandible suspicious of malignant disease. Further findings included multiple pathological fractures of the spine and a mass in the left lung base. A trephine biopsy gave a diagnosis of metastatic neuroendocrine carcinoma, with the left lung mass considered to be the primary site.
    Discussion: We discuss the rarity of metastatic disease to the oral cavity, and the importance of "numb chin syndrome" in indicating malignancy.
    Conclusions: This case promotes the importance of considering sinister pathology when presented with sudden, altered sensation to the chin and lips. The "numb chin syndrome" should always raise the suspicion of primary or metastatic disease to the mandible.

    Abstract Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women worldwide and it remains a global health burden, in part, due to poor response and tolerance to current therapeutics. Drug repurposing, which seeks to identify new indications for existing and investigational drugs, has become an exciting strategy to address these challenges. Here we describe the anti-breast cancer activity of a diaryl-imidazopyridazine compound, MMV652103, which was previously identified for its anti-plasmodial activity. We demonstrate that MMV652103 potently inhibits the oncogenic PI4KB and PIK3C2G lipid kinases, is selectively cytotoxic to MCF7 and T47D estrogen receptor positive breast cancer cells and inhibits their ability to survive and migrate. The underlying mechanisms involved included the induction of reactive oxygen species and activation of the DNA damage and p38 MAPK stress signaling pathways. This was associated with a G1 cell cycle arrest and an increase in levels of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21 and activation of apoptotic and autophagic cell death pathways. Lastly, MMV652103 significantly reduced the weight and metastases of MCF7 induced tumors in an

    Abstract In an effort to develop new potent anticancer agents, two Schiff base rhenium(I) tricarbonyl complexes, containing the ubiquitous aminoquinoline scaffold, were synthesized. Both aminoquinoline ligands and Re(I) complexes showed adequate stability over a 48-h incubation period.
