Aim: HER2-positive metastatic gastric cancer is still a highly fatal disease despite advances. We aimed to investigate the relationship between HER2/CEP17 ratio and survival in patients with HER2-positive metastatic gastric cancer.
Methods: A total of 99 patients from 8 different centers in Turkey were included in the study.
Objective: The aim was to assess postoperative outcomes in pediatric thyroid nodules with atypia of undetermined significance (AUS/FLUS) or suspicious for a follicular neoplasm (SFN) and their respective the European-Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (EU-TIRADS) scores.
Methods: Forty-four pediatric patients at a single center with thyroid nodules classified as AUS/FLUS or SFN from August 2019 to December 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. Data on demographics, thyroid function, nodule size, and ultrasonographic features were collected.
Introduction: The aim of the study was to investigate the value of prostate-specific antigen density (PSAD) and lesion diameter (LD) combination in prostate cancer (PCa) detection.
Methods: 181 patients who were detected to have prostate imaging-reporting and data system (PI-RADS) 3 lesions in mpMRI and underwent prostate biopsies were included in the study. Demographic, clinical, and pathological data of all patients were evaluated.
Hypophysitis is a rare disease of pituitary gland, which, although it is usually a primary lesion, can also occur secondary to systemic conditions. Granulomatous hypophysitis is an inflammatory disease condition which accounts for less than 1% of all cellular lesions and can mimic adenoma. A 32-year-old woman presented with weight gain, galactorrhea and blurred vision.

The aim of the current study was to assess the risk of malignancy (ROM) and risk of neoplasia (RON) in each of the diagnostic categories proposed by the MSRSGC.
Methods: A retrospective analysis and categorization according to the MSRSGC was made of salivary gland fine needle aspirations (FNA) performed from January 2007 to December 2017.
Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to compare the expression of p53 and Ki67 in basal cell carcinoma (BCC) cases located in unusual versus usual sites, given their roles in cell growth in skin cancers.
- Researchers examined 33 tissue samples, finding that tumors in unusual locations were larger, and size increased with patient age; however, there were no significant differences in p53 and Ki67 expression between the groups.
- A correlation was observed between the staining rates of Ki67 and p53, but overall, the findings indicate no notable differences in expression levels for these markers across the locations studied.
