Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy is a recent advancement in precision medicine with promising results for patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell malignancies. However, rare post-therapy morphologic, immunophenotypic, and genomic alterations can occur. This study is to present a case of a patient with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) who underwent anti-CD19 CAR-T therapy with disease in the uterus that showed transdifferentiation to a poorly differentiated malignant neoplasm that failed to express any lineage specific markers.

Background & Objective: Cervical cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide with high mortality, necessitating quicker diagnostic methods. We wish to enhance the existing cervical biopsies of Squamous Intraepithelial Lesions (SIL) using p16 and Ki67 as surrogate markers to assess correlation between its positivity and histological grade of the lesion.
Methods: Analysis of p16 and Ki67 expression was done on 31 histopathologically diagnosed cases of SILs.
Background: The highly prevalent cervical cancer can be prevented through a vaccine. However, the uptake of the Human Papillomavirus vaccine in the general population continues to be low. Medical students, as healthcare providers in the future, would be influential in affecting the community's views and thereby the uptake of the Human Papillomavirus vaccine.
