Purpose: Appendiceal adenocarcinoma (AA) is a rare malignancy with distinct histopathologic subtypes and a natural history with metastasis primarily limited to the peritoneum. Little is known about the molecular pathogenesis of AA relative to common tumors.
Experimental Design: We analyzed molecular data for patients within the Guardant Health database with appendix cancer (n = 718).
Gall bladder cancer (GBC) is one of the common biliary tract malignancies that is often associated with late presentation of clinical symptoms resulting in poor prognosis, thereby considerably increasing the mortality rate. Geographic and ethnic variations are one of the major causes of GBC incidence. However, in addition to genetic susceptibility to GBC, other factors like age, obesity, gender, and exposure to certain heavy chemicals may also lead to the incidence of GBC.

- Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) has high morbidity and mortality rates, and timely diagnosis is essential for better patient outcomes; however, diagnostic delays are a significant concern.
- A study with 226 OSCC patients examined demographic and socioeconomic factors contributing to these delays, finding that the average delay was 55.2 days, with a significant number of patients affected by delays over 40 days.
- Key factors linked to longer delays included older age, single marital status, lower education, and lower income, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to improve early detection and patient outcomes.
