It is speculated that the large number of administered cells localized to the lung immediately following infusion and were triggered to release cytokine by the recognition of low levels of ERBB2 on lung epithelial cells, consistent with a cytokine storm.

BACKGROUND
Thyroid cancer diagnosis in the United States has increased by 2.3-folds in the last three decades. Up to 30% of thyroid fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) results are inconclusive.…

This is the first study to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of miRNAs in thyroid histologies that are difficult to distinguish as benign or malignant by FNAB and miR-126 and mi R-7 had high diagnostic accuracy and could be helpful adjuncts to thyroid FNAb.
Pulmonary Resection for Metastatic Gastric Cancer
Pulmonary metastasectomy for MGC can potentially result in long-term survival in a highly selected group of patients and should be considered for those who present with small, isolated lesions after a prolonged disease-free interval.

Transarterial Chemoembolization for Metastatic Neuroendocrine Tumors With Massive Hepatic Tumor Burden: Is the Benefit Worth the Risk?
- M. Kitano, Gail W. Davidson, M. Bloomston
- MedicineAnnals of Surgical Oncology
- 8 July 2016
In spite of massive tumor burden, clinical and biochemical improvements were seen in the majority of patients, and TACE should still be considered in selective patients with massive hepatic tumor burden from metastatic NET for symptom control and palliation.
