Low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (LG-ESS) can present diagnostic challenges, due to its overlapping morphological features with other uterine mesenchymal tumors. Misdiagnosis rates remain significant, and immunohistochemical data for LG-ESS are limited to small series and inconsistent antibody panels. This study aimed to refine the IHC profile of LG-ESS by analyzing a large, molecularly confirmed series of 147 cases using a panel of 24 antibodies, including newer markers like transgelin and smoothelin.

Olaparib treatment significantly improved objective response rate (primary end point) and progression-free survival versus nonplatinum chemotherapy in patients with BRCA-mutated platinum-sensitive relapsed ovarian cancer in the open-label phase III SOLO3 trial (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02282020). We report final overall survival (OS; prespecified secondary end point), post hoc OS analysis by number of previous chemotherapy lines, and exploratory BRCA reversion mutation analysis.

Article Synopsis
  • - Uterine sarcomas with KAT6B/A::KANSL1 fusion are a new type of tumor that show a mix of traits from low-grade endometrial stromal sarcomas and smooth muscle tumors, which can confuse initial diagnoses.
  • - A study involving 9 such cases found common features like expression of smooth muscle and endometrial stromal markers, as well as the presence of the KAT6B/A::KANSL1 fusion in all tumors.
  • - Despite their bland appearance, these tumors can be aggressive, with some patients experiencing severe outcomes, underscoring the need for accurate recognition and diagnosis for better treatment approaches.

Objectives: Part 1 of the RUBY trial (NCT03981796) demonstrated improved survival in patients with primary advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer (EC) treated with dostarlimab plus carboplatin-paclitaxel versus placebo plus carboplatin-paclitaxel. Here, we examine additional efficacy and safety data from patients with mismatch repair deficient/microsatellite instability-high (dMMR/MSI-H) EC in the RUBY trial.

Methods: Patients were randomized 1:1 to dostarlimab 500 mg or placebo plus carboplatin-paclitaxel every 3 weeks for 6 cycles followed by dostarlimab or placebo every 6 weeks for up to 3 years.

The guidelines for clinical practice for carriers of pathogenic variants in clinically relevant genes predisposing to Lynch syndrome and colorectal cancer define the steps of primary and secondary prevention that should be provided to the individuals at high risk of developing hereditary cancer in the Czech Republic. The drafting of the guidelines was organized by the Oncogenetics Working Group of the Society for Medical Genetics and Genomics of J. E.
