Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is challenging to treat because of its lack of specific molecular targets. The IMMUNOPEG study aimed to evaluate a novel structured method for interpreting TNBC immunohistochemistry specimens processed with VENTANA PD-L1 (SP142) assay. The study involved 10 pathologists who evaluated 50 different immunohistochemistry specimens of TNBC with programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression considered challenging and that were previously evaluated by the scientific committee, using the NAVIFY Digital Pathology platform.

Patients with schizophrenia receiving antipsychotic treatment present lower mortality rates than those who do not. However, the non-adherence rate is high, which can be partially addressed using long-acting injectable (LAI) antipsychotics. The impact of LAI treatments on all-cause mortality compared to oral antipsychotics remains unclear.

Article Synopsis
  • Weightbearing computed tomography (WBCT) scans help analyze foot alignment in patients with progressive collapsing foot deformity (PCFD) but struggle to assess soft tissue integrity, prompting a study on the relationship between WBCT and MRI findings.
  • The study involved 24 PCFD patients and a control group, using various 3D measurements from WBCT and evaluating soft tissue integrity with MRI.
  • Results indicated no correlation between WBCT measurements and soft tissue injuries, although BMI and talocalcaneal overlap were linked to tibialis posterior tendon tears, revealing that WBCT and MRI serve complementary roles in diagnosing foot conditions.

Tumor-to-tumor metastasis is a rare event which it is specifically up to pathologists to bring to light correctly. The histological identification of such tumor-to-tumor cases is simple when the respective histologies are different but can be problematic if the case includes two carcinomas with similar cytoarchitecture viewed one inside the other under the microscope. We report four cases of this condition in which clear cell renal cell carcinoma is involved, either as a receptor or as a donor, and remark on the difficulties in recognizing some of them.
