Article Synopsis
  • The ampulla of Vater is a critical site in the duodenal wall where pancreatic and biliary ducts meet, often linked to tumors known as ampullary adenocarcinomas.
  • A study analyzed 188 cases to compare intra-ampullary and periampullary carcinomas in terms of pathology and survival, revealing that most tumors were found in males around 55 years old, with a predilection for the pancreatobiliary subtype.
  • Results indicated that intra-ampullary carcinomas had worse outcomes, showing more extensive invasion and lower median survival rates (46 months) compared to periampullary carcinomas (53.5 months).

Article Synopsis
  • Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women, with squamous cell carcinoma making up 70% of cases, often spreading to areas like the lungs and lymph nodes.
  • A case of a 42-year-old woman previously treated for advanced cervical cancer is reported, where she presented with symptoms and was found to have malignant cells in her pericardial fluid, indicating rare metastasis to the pericardium.
  • The case highlights the importance of considering cervical cancer as a potential source of pericardial effusion, especially in patients with invasive tumors or known cancer history.

Aims Prostate cancer (PC) is a significant health concern worldwide, and early detection is crucial for effective treatment. This study aimed to investigate the role of the hemoglobin-albumin-lymphocyte-platelet (HALP) score in detecting prostate cancer in patients undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). Additionally, a comprehensive analysis was performed to explore clinical parameters associated with incidentally diagnosed prostate cancer post TURP.

In this editorial, we inspect the critical role of gender diversity within the domain of pathology and its consequential impact on research innovation and clinical outcomes. The editorial commences with a historical overview of gender disparities in pathology, acknowledging advancements toward gender parity while highlighting persistent impediments to full inclusivity. The discourse emphasizes the intrinsic value of integrating diverse gender perspectives in research, illustrating how such inclusivity catalyzes innovation, mitigates research biases, and elevates the standard of patient care through a more comprehensive understanding of the field of pathology.

Human monkeypox virus (MPVX) infection represents an emerging zoonotic disease caused by an orthopoxvirus, resulting in a condition reminiscent of smallpox. More recent developments have witnessed a notable surge in global MPVX outbreaks, eliciting significant concerns. We aimed to investigate the epidemiological factors of the emerging human monkeypox virus infection, including the number of suspected, confirmed, and fatal cases, as well as the risk factors for contracting monkeypox infection.

Monkeypox is a rare zoonotic DNA with lineage from the Poxviridae family, Chordopoxvirinae subfamily, and Orthopoxvirus genus. With a previous history of controlled and contained occasional outbreaks of the virus, currently, a widely erupted outbreak of monkeypox with progressively rising numbers has been reported since May 2022 in multiple countries of the western hemisphere that are not historically endemic for this infection, particularly the United Kingdom and European Union countries. We have written a comprehensive review article to help clinicians better understand the disease.

Background Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease with many histological and molecular/intrinsic breast cancer subtypes. Intrinsic breast cancer subtypes include luminal A, luminal B, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2/neu), and triple-negative subtypes. The intrinsic breast cancer typing is based on the expression of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), HER2/neu, and Ki67-labeling index.
