Cutaneous hybrid cysts with matrical differentiation are mostly sporadic and related to CTNNB1 mutation.

Recurrent mutations in the CTNNB1 or APC genes leading to the activation of the Wnt/betacatenin pathway are observed in adnexal tumors with matrical differentiation. While most pilomatricomas arise sporadically and harbor CTNNB1 mutations, cutaneous hybrid cysts combining epidermal and matrical differentiations have been mostly reported in a context of the familial adenomatosis polyposis/Gardner's syndrome related to germinal mutations of APC. The objective of this study is to understand the pathogenesis of hybrid cysts combining epidermal and matrical differentiations.

New Ref-1/APE1 targeted inhibitors demonstrating improved potency for clinical applications in multiple cancer types.

AP endonuclease-1/Redox factor-1 (APE1/Ref-1 or Ref-1) is a multifunctional protein that is overexpressed in most aggressive cancers and impacts various cancer cell signaling pathways. Ref-1's redox activity plays a significant role in activating transcription factors (TFs) such as NFκB, HIF1α, STAT3 and AP-1, which are crucial contributors to the development of tumors and metastatic growth. Therefore, development of potent, selective inhibitors to target Ref-1 redox function is an appealing approach for therapeutic intervention.

[Palliative urologic surgery for metastatic prostate cancer: what needs to be considered in the future?].

Androgen deprivation in combination with novel hormonal agents, docetaxel or the combination of abiraterone/prednisone plus docetaxel or darolutamide plus docetaxel represent the standard therapeutic approach in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). Patients with low-risk prostate cancer also benefit from additional radiation therapy or radical prostatectomy in terms of progression-free and overall survival. Despite favourable response rates, basically all patients will develop castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) within 2.

Functional or radical surgical treatment of laryngeal chondrosarcoma, analysis of survival and prognostic factors: A REFCOR and NetSarc-ResOs multicenter study of 74 cases.

Introduction: Laryngeal chondrosarcoma (LCS) is a rare tumor of slow evolution whose treatment is poorly codified. For a long time, a radical treatment by total laryngectomy (TL) was proposed. More recent studies tend to propose a conservative surgical approach of the larynx.
