Objective: To assess the feasibility, accuracy, and safety of ultrasound (US)-guided coaxial core-needle biopsy (CNB) for histomolecular diagnosis of extra-ocular orbital soft tissue tumours as a minimally invasive alternative to surgical biopsy.

Methods: This retrospective study was conducted at a single Comprehensive Cancer Center and included all consecutive patients referred to our center between 2015 and 2023 for the diagnosis and treatment of orbital soft tissue tumours. All patients underwent US-guided transconjunctival coaxial CNB using a semiautomatic 18-gauge biopsy gun.

MYCN-amplified RB1 wild-type (MYCNRB1) retinoblastoma is a rare and aggressive subtype, often resistant to standard therapies. Identifying unique MRI features is crucial for diagnosing this subtype, as biopsy is not recommended. This study aimed to differentiate MYCNRB1 from the most prevalent RB1 retinoblastoma using pretreatment MRI and radiomics.

Background Neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy (NACI) has significantly increased the rate of pathologic complete response (pCR) in patients with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), although predictors of response to this regimen have not been identified. Purpose To investigate pretreatment perfusion MRI-based radiomics as a predictive marker for pCR in patients with TNBC undergoing NACI. Materials and Methods This prospective study enrolled women with early-stage TNBC who underwent NACI at two different centers from August 2021 to July 2023.

Background: Recently, a new World Health Organization Reporting System for Soft Tissue Cytopathology (WHO System) was introduced. To analyze the value of this system, routine fine-needle aspiration soft tissue tumor (STT) cases were reviewed.

Methods: Cytology samples of STTs collected between 1954 and 2022 at the Institut Curie were used (2214 cases, including 1376 primary tumors).

Article Synopsis
  • Pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (pNENs) are rare in children, with a study examining cases between 2011 and 2020 to understand their clinical presentation and behavior.
  • The study analyzed 15 patients, mostly adolescents, and found that a significant number had cancer predisposition syndromes, with some diagnosed through screening.
  • Results showed that patients with low-grade tumors had better survival rates, while those with high-grade or metastatic cancers faced poorer outcomes, highlighting the need for improved treatment strategies for severe cases.
