Abstract:
Giant cell tumor is a relatively uncommon bone tumor rarely originating from the chest wall. Given its proximity to vital structures in the thoracic cavity, treatment options may be challenging. We report the case of a patient with a giant cell tumor of the posterolateral chest wall with invasion of the thoracic spine treated with neoadjuvant denosumab, followed by surgical resection.

Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
