Appraisal of hydatidiform mole incidence and registration rates in Ireland following the establishment of a National Gestational Trophoblastic Disease Registry.

Aims: This study aimed to re-evaluate the incidence of hydatidiform mole (HM) and determine gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) registration rates in Ireland following the establishment of the National GTD Registry in 2017.

Methods: We performed a 3-year retrospective audit of HM cases (January 2017 to December 2019) reported in our centre. In 2019, we surveyed Irish pathology laboratories to determine the number of HMs diagnosed nationally and compared this data to that recorded in the National GTD Registry.

Grading of prostate cancer: the impact of including intraductal carcinoma on the overall Grade Group assigned in diagnostic biopsies.

Aims: The Gleason score/Grade Group (GrG) is a key parameter for clinical decision-making in prostate cancer. The World Health Organization currently recommends that intraductal carcinoma of the prostate (IDCP) should not be factored into the GrG; however, grading of IDCP is controversial, with variability among genitourinary pathologists. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of grading of the IDCP component on the final GrG in prostate biopsies.
