Unlabelled: Black people have a higher incidence of colorectal cancer and worse survival rates when compared with white people. Comprehensive genomic profiling was performed in 46,140 colorectal adenocarcinoma cases. Ancestry-informative markers identified 5,301 patients of African descent (AFR) and 33,770 patients of European descent (EUR).

Because most prostate cancer cases are now detected at an early stage with a low prostate-specific antigen level, the bGS may be the most important factor in therapeutic decision-making. Sextant biopsy schemes had poor correlation with prostatectomy Gleason scores.

- Molecular pathology advances are enhancing methods to detect disease predisposition, sub-clinical diseases, and improving diagnosis and treatment monitoring for melanoma.
- Current melanoma prognosis relies on histological and clinical factors, but limitations exist, such as the inability to detect distant metastasis in thin melanomas.
- New biomarkers related to melanoma progression could improve patient identification, treatment response monitoring, and potentially lead to better therapeutic options.
