Objective: Mammary Paget's disease (MPD) is a rare presentation type of breast cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinicopathological and imaging features affecting the invasive component, loco-regional recurrence, prognosis, and survival of MPD.
Methods: Patients who had undergone surgery due to MPD in a 10-year period were included.
Introduction: The present study aims to determine the diagnostic accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) in predicting a pathological response of molecular subtypes of breast cancer to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC).
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed patients with breast cancer who were operated after NAC between January 2018 and May 2020. Radiological responses were evaluated as per the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) and changes in contrast enhancement patterns on MRI and the classification of PET Response Criteria in Solid Tumors (PERCIST) on PET-CT.
Gastric hepatoid carcinoma (GHC) is a rare type of gastric cancer with a tendency to have poor prognosis and metastasize to the liver. GHCs generally show histopathologically hepatocellular differentiation and secrete alpha fetoprotein (AFP). AFP production can occur in cancers originating from the embryologically similar liver, gastrointestinal tract, and yolk sac and often metastasizes to the liver.
