De-escalating axillary management after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer: The ratio of positive sentinel lymph nodes matters.

Background: De-escalation of axillary surgery in breast cancer (BC) patients diminishes sequelae without compromising cancer outcomes. Surgical management of the axilla is challenging after neoadjuvant treatment. We aimed to identify the factors associated with residual axillary disease amenable to lymphadenectomy in patients with positive sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB).

Digging into phenotype change in mismatch repair deficient endometrial carcinoma and treatment with immune checkpoint inhibition, a case report.

•False negative cases for mismatch repair determination by immunohistochemistry may occur.•The mismatch repair phenotype in endometrial carcinoma impacts on therapeutic decision making.•Retesting for mismatch repair at relapse of endometrial carcinoma should be considered.

Prevalence of Anal High-Risk Human Papilloma Virus Infection and Abnormal Anal Cytology among Women Living with HIV.

Background: Women living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), WLWHs, are at high risk of developing anal cancer associated with high-risk human papilloma virus infection (HR-HPV). We analyzed the prevalence of anal HR-HPV infection and abnormal anal cytology in a cohort of WLWHs and assessed the risk factors for anal HR-HPV infection. Methods: We present a single-center, observational cross-sectional study.

A Case of COL1A1-PDGFB Fusion Uterine Sarcoma.

COL1A1-PDGFB gene fusion uterine sarcoma is a recently described entity which shows some overlapping features with dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans. To date, only 4 cases have been reported in the literature. Due to its rarity, succinct clinicopathologic characteristics are yet to be established.

New case of secondary bladder amyloidosis with massive hematuria-role of intravesical instillations with dimethyl sulfoxide.

Secondary bladder amyloidosis is a rare condition with less than 60 cases published in the world. It is usually secondary to chronic inflammatory processes such as rheumatologic diseases. Hematuria is its predominant and most important symptom, and usually occurs after a bladder catheterization.
