The interdisciplinary treatment concept for bone metastases (BoM) of oligometastatic breast cancer includes metastasis-directed radiotherapy. We evaluated oncological outcomes of BoM treated with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in a large European cohort.Data of breast cancer patients treated with SBRT for BoM between 2010 and 2024 at 17 European cancer centers were retrospectively collected. [...]

Meningiomas (MGMs) are the most common primary intracranial tumors in adults with asubstantial subset exhibiting aggressive clinical behavior. Immunotherapy represents apotential alternative treatment option, even though MGMs have traditionally beenconsidered “immunologically cold” tumors. [...]

Nonparenchymal central nervous system (CNS)-associated macrophages (CAMs) mediate immune responses at brain boundaries. Perivascular and leptomeningeal CAMs are collectively termed subdural CAMs (sdCAMs). [...]

Germline defects in mismatch repair (MMR) genes are known to significantly increase the risk of developing certain types of cancers, notably colorectal and endometrial cancers. These conditions are characterized under Lynch syndrome. [...]

Immunodeficiency-associated primary CNS lymphoma (ID-PCNSL) represents a clinicopathologically distinct PCNSL subtype, for which large studies and prognostic models are lacking. To address this gap, the International PCNSL Collaborative Group conducted an international retrospective multi-center study, integrating clinical, radiological, and pathological data from 308 ID-PCNSL, diagnosed at 23 participating sites in 7 countries. [...]

Glioblastoma (GBM) remains one of the most aggressive and treatment-resistant brain tumors in adults. Its immune microenvironment is dominated by tumor-associated macrophages, including both infiltrating monocytes and brain-resident microglia. [...]

Primary CNS T-cell lymphoma (PCNSTL) is an extremely rare and aggressive form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Diagnosis is often challenging because of the nonspecific clinical presentation, which can lead to delays in treatment. [...]

The lysine acetyltransferase (KAT) activity of p300/CREBBP has traditionally been linked to transcriptional activation. This has been attributed largely to acetylation of histone residues such as H3K27ac, a defining hallmark of active regulatory elements. [...]
