Do clinical data and human papilloma virus genotype influence spontaneous regression in grade I cervical intraepithelial neoplasia?

Objective: To determine whether medical history, clinical examination and human papilloma virus (HPV) genotype influence spontaneous regression in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade I (CIN-I).

Material And Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 232 women who were histologically diagnosed as have CIN-I by means of Kaplan-Meier curves, the pattern of spontaneous regression according to the medical history, clinical examination, and HPV genotype.

Results: Spontaneous regression occurred in most patients and was influenced by the presence of multiple HPV genotypes but not by the HPV genotype itself.

Prognostic influence of loss of blood group A antigen expression in pathologic stage I non-small-cell lung cancer.

Introduction: In the scientific literature, contradictory results has been published on the prognostic value of the loss of expression of blood group antigen A (BAA) in lung cancer. The objective of our study was to analyze this fact in our surgical series.

Patients And Methods: In a multicenter study, 402 non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients were included.

[Synchronous and primary adenocarcinoma: renal tumor and gallbladder incidentaloma].

Objective: To report a case of two synchronous primary adenocarcinomas involving two different organ systems.

Methods/results: The urological assessment of a patient with hematuria disclosed an intravesicular polypoid mass and a right renal mass that were treated by surgery.

Conclusions: The histopathological findings demonstrated a clear cell adenocarcinoma of the kidney and another primary adenocarcinoma of the gallbladder.
