Abstract
One of the major cancer types that have gained significant importance globally is the breast cancer due to its socio-economic impact. Breast cancer research is an area of considerable importance and several types of material are available for research applications. These include cancer cell lines which can be utilized in several ways. Cell lines are convenient to use and recently about 84 human breast cancer cell lines were classified by molecular sub-typing. These cells lines come under five major molecular subtypes namely the luminal A and B, HER-2+, triple- A and B subtypes. These cell lines have been well characterized and were utilized for understanding various aspects of breast cancers. Also, apart from providing an understanding of the molecular mechanisms associated with breast cancers, these cell lines have contributed significantly to areas such as drug testing. We present in this review the features of these cell lines, the studies conducted using them and the outcome of such studies. Also, the details about the culture conditions and study outcomes of the cell lines grown in 3-dimensional (3D) systems are presented.

Abstract
The thyroid gland is a rare site of metastasis, and in particular of those of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) from the head and neck region. We have reviewed the aetiology, pathogenesis, clinical characteristics, radiological features, immunohistochemical profile, prognosis, and management of metastatic SCC from the head and neck region to the thyroid, and searched current publications on the Medline, Embase, and Cochrane databases using the following keywords: "SCC of thyroid", "secondary SCC of thyroid", and "metastasis to the thyroid", for papers published during the last 33 years (April 1984 to October 2017).We found a total of 19 papers that reported a total of 32 cases that were relevant. Four further cases were discovered as an incidental finding on follow-up positron emission tomographic/computed tomographic scans with magnetic resonance imaging of the head and neck at our hospital, which were confirmed with an ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy followed by immunohistochemical examination. For patients who are doing well, whose disease is controlled at the primary site, and who have no evidence of distant metastatic disease, total thyroidectomy could be considered followed by adjuvant radiation or chemoradiotherapy, depending on the presence of intermediate or high-risk features on pathological examination and previous history of radiation. This may help to control the disease and avoid local morbidity.
