Abstract:
Mixed cryoglobulinemia (MC) is well known for its association with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. However, it has also been linked to autoimmune disorders and hematological malignancies, particularly of B-cell lymphoid origin. Association with solid malignancies is poorly described in the literature. Non-HCV-related MC, in the setting of prostate cancer, has been reported only twice. Here, we describe a case of MC in a prostate cancer patient complicated by membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) that responded well to plasma exchange therapy and treatment with both corticosteroids and rituximab.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
