The dermoscopic rainbow pattern (RP), also known as polychromatic pattern, is characterized by a multicolored appearance, resulting from the dispersion of polarized light as it penetrates various tissue components. Its separation into different wavelengths occurs according to the physics principles of scattering, absorption, and interference of light, creating the optical effect of RP. Even though the RP is regarded as a highly specific dermoscopic indicator of Kaposi's sarcoma, in the medical literature, it has also been documented as an atypical dermoscopic finding of other non-Kaposi skin entities.

Article Synopsis
- Dose-dense sequential (dds) chemotherapy has positively impacted long-term survival rates in early breast cancer patients, as shown in the observational trial HE 10/10.
- The study analyzed the role of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and CD8 lymphocytes in predicting outcomes, finding that higher levels are linked to better survival.
- With a median follow-up of over 10 years, the study reported disease-free survival (DFS) at 78.4% and overall survival (OS) at 81.7%, highlighting the regimen's efficacy and safety.
