Small-Cell Neuroendocrine Cervical Carcinoma Mimicking a Polyp in a 20-Year-Old Patient With a Five-Year Follow-Up: A Case Report.

Small-cell neuroendocrine cervical carcinoma (NECC) is a rare histology, and diagnosis and treatment of this condition are challenging because of its rarity, non-specific abdominopelvic symptoms, and less favorable prognosis compared to other cervical cancers. Here, we present a case of a 20-year-old patient diagnosed with small-cell NECC, defined within a cervical polyp, initially mimicking a benign lesion. Because of the difficulty in diagnosis, the patient underwent thorough diagnostics and interventions, including imaging, histopathology, and immunohistochemistry.

Clinicopathological Risk Factors of Unfavorable Outcomes in Vietnamese Women with Primary Invasive Breast Cancer: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Background: The rate of unfavorable outcomes, such as recurrence and death, in women with invasive breast cancer varies widely across countries and populations. Identifying those with high-risk profiles is critical so that early detection, prediction, and intervention can be made to improve their survival rate. Therefore, our study evaluated the rate of unfavorable outcomes and its association with clinicopathological characteristics in Vietnamese women with primary invasive breast cancer.

Pathogenic Variant Profile of Hereditary Cancer Syndromes in a Vietnamese Cohort.

Background: Hereditary cancer syndromes (HCS) are responsible for 5-10% of cancer cases. Genetic testing to identify pathogenic variants associated with cancer predisposition has not been routinely available in Vietnam. Consequently, the prevalence and genetic landscape of HCS remain unknown.
