Lung cancer (LC) is a crucial rapidly developing disease. In Egypt, it is one of the five most frequent cancers. Little is known about the impact of deleted mismatch repair genes and its correlation to clinicopathological characteristics.

Azithromycin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic commonly used to treat bacterial infections but is associated with adverse cardiac effects, including oxidative damage and myocardial inflammation. This study aims to explore the histopathological and biochemical changes, including serum interleukin-10 levels, induced by azithromycin in the hearts of male albino rats and to evaluate the protective role of combined selenium and vitamin E treatment. Forty rats were divided into four groups: a control group, an azithromycin treatment group, selenium and vitamin E treatment group, and a combined treatment group receiving both azithromycin, selenium, and vitamin E.

Acute kidney injury (AKI), also known as acute renal failure (ARF), has received considerable critical attention in recent years. Gentamicin (GM) is an antibiotic whose prolonged use results in AKI with a high mortality rate. Fifty adult female albino rats weighing 150-200 g were used.

Background: P D-L1 is expressed in tumor cells and plays a crucial role in tumor immune escape. Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) as CD8 T cells contribute to reduced tumor growth. Few studies investigated the prognostic effect of PD-L1 and CD8 TILs in ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC).

Unlabelled: ackground: Lung cancer is one of the most frequently diagnosed malignancies. Human endogenous retrovirus-H long terminal repeat-associating protein 2 (HHLA2) is a recently discovered ligand of the B7 family. Blocking this immune checkpoint has become an important treatment option for lung cancer.

Lung cancers have high incidence and high mortality rates. The immune checkpoints as programmed death ligand 1 (PDL-1) can suppress the tumor immune reaction. So, their blocking seems to be a way to treat tumors.

Background: In breast cancer, metastasis and recurrence is the main culprit in treatment failure. This study aimed to explore the role of E-cadherin/N-cadherin Switch in progression, spread and metastasis in breast invasive duct carcinoma.

Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional study on 118 formalinfixed paraffinembedded mastectomy specimens of invasive breast duct carcinoma.

Background: Calretinin (CR), a known mesothelial marker, is expressed in both epithelial and mesenchymal malignancies including breast cancer.

Aims: We aimed to measure the frequency of CR expression in correlation with other clinicopathological parameters of different molecular subtypes of invasive breast carcinoma and to study its prognostic implications in this common cancer.

Study Design: Tissue microarrays were constructed from 225 tissue samples of breast carcinoma cases.
