Estrogen receptor status has no prognostic relevance in metaplastic breast carcinoma.

Background: Metaplastic breast carcinoma (MBC) is a rare histologic variant of breast cancer characterized by the presence of glandular and non-glandular components. The prognostic significance of estrogen receptor (ER) status has been scarcely studied in these tumors. We therefore investigated the prognostic relevance of ER status in MBC within our patient population.

COVID-19 Vaccine Hesitancy among Arab Americans.

(1) Background: Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) vaccines have a significant impact on reducing morbidity and mortality from infection. However, vaccine hesitancy remains an obstacle in combating the pandemic. The Arab American (AA) population is understudied; thus, we aimed to explore COVID-19 attitudes within this community.

Evaluation of COVID-19 Vaccine Attitudes among Arab American Healthcare Professionals Living in the United States.

Background: Vaccine hesitancy is the next great barrier for public health. Arab Americans are a rapidly growing demographic in the United States with limited information on the prevalence of vaccine hesitancy. We therefore sought to study the attitudes towards the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine amongst Arab American health professionals living in the United States.

Accuracy and Reproducibility of Frozen Section Diagnosis in Ovarian Tumors.

Context.—: Intraoperative consultation-frozen section diagnosis (FSD)-determines tumor pathology and guides the optimal surgical management of ovarian neoplasms intraoperatively.

Objective.

Impact of positive cytology in uterine serous carcinoma: A reassessment.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of peritoneal cytology status among other clinicopathological parameters in uterine serous carcinoma (USC).

Methods: A retrospective study of 148 patients diagnosed with uterine serous carcinoma from 1997 to 2016 at two academic medical centers in the Detroit metropolitan area was done. A central gynecologic pathologist reviewed all available slides and confirmed the histologic diagnosis of each case of USC.

Human Papillomavirus Infection and Cervical Dysplasia in a Subset of Arab American Women.

With limited health data on Arab Americans (AAs), we sought to describe the health-seeking behaviors, prevalence of abnormal cervical cytology and high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) serotypes, and the relationship with socioeconomic factors among a subset of AA women. Retrospective observational cohort study of women undergoing routine cancer screening at the Arab-American Center for Economic and Social Services clinic. Data collected included demographics, tobacco use, gross monthly income, prior Papanicolaou (Pap) smear history, and results of cervical cytology and high-risk HPV testing.
