Next-generation sequencing in the molecular classification of endometrial carcinomas: Experience with 270 cases suggesting a potentially more aggressive clinical behavior of multiple classifier endometrial carcinomas.

Molecular classification of endometrial carcinomas (EC) divides these neoplasms into four distinct subgroups based on their molecular background. Given its clinical significance, genetic examination is becoming integral to the diagnostic process. This study aims to share our experience with the molecular classification of EC using immunohistochemistry (IHC) and next-generation sequencing (NGS).

Advantages of next-generation sequencing (NGS) in the molecular classifi cation of endometrial carcinomas - our experience with 270 cases.

Objective: Molecular classification of endometrial carcinomas (EC) divides these neoplasms into four distinct subgroups defined by a molecular background. Given its proven clinical significance, genetic examination is becoming an integral component of the diagnostic procedure. Recommended diagnostic algorithms comprise molecular genetic testing of the POLE gene, whereas the remaining parameters are examined solely by immunohistochemistry.

Prognostic assessment of T-cells in primary colorectal cancer and paired synchronous or metachronous liver metastasis.

Prognostic value of T-cells between primary colorectal cancer (pCRC) and its paired synchronous and metachronous liver metastasis (LM) is underinvestigated and is the subject of the present study. We enrolled into this retrospective cohort study patients, who underwent resection of both pCRC and synchronous LM (N = 55) or metachronous LM (N = 44). After immunohistochemical staining for CD3+, CD8+, and CD45R0+ whole slides were scanned and T-cell densities were quantified using QuPath software in tumor center (TC), inner margin (IM), outer margin (OM), and peritumor zone (PT) of pCRC and LM.

How to improve pre-operative diagnostics of pancreatobiliary lesions? From immunohistochemistry to Next Generation Sequencing.

Preoperative cytopathology of pancreatobiliary neoplastic lesions is a sensitive and specific method and is irreplaceable in the diagnosis and clinical management of these diseases. Pathologists should make every attempt to provide diagnosis as precise as possible and minimize the rate of "atypical" results, which create management dilemmas. The diagnostic accuracy of cytopathology can be significantly improved by judicious use of ancillary studies, including immunohistochemistry and molecular genetics.

Small nucleolar RNA expression profiles: A potential prognostic biomarker for non-viral Hepatocellular carcinoma.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a challenging cancer with high mortality rates, limited predictability, and a lack of effective prognostic indicators. The relationship between small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) and HCC is poorly understood. Based on the literature data, snoRNA studies were primarily focused on viral-related causes of HCC, such as Hepatitis B or C viruses (HBV or HCV).
