Article Synopsis
- * Data from 114 Japanese women revealed that low tumor grade, high progesterone receptor (PgR) expression, and low Ki67 labeling index (LI) were significantly associated with lower recurrence scores.
- * The findings suggest that PgR expression and Ki67 LI are independent predictors of recurrence score, and MUC1 staining patterns could also be valuable in identifying patients who may not benefit from the test.
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to create a straightforward risk stratification model for postoperative prostate cancer patients using data from radical prostatectomy specimens.* -
- A derivation cohort of 432 patients and two validation cohorts (506 and 720 patients) were analyzed, focusing on factors like extraprostatic extension and lymph node involvement to develop the model.* -
- The resulting 3-level risk classification (low, intermediate, high) effectively predicted recurrence-free survival and proved more accurate than the existing CAPRA score in the validation cohorts.*
Background: The age of onset of the phyllodes tumor is generally in the late 40 s, and diagnosis and treatment during pregnancy and lactation are rare. We herein present a case of a phyllodes tumor that rapidly increased in size during the pregnancy and lactation period.
Case Presentation: A 39-year-old woman was referred to our hospital with a mass in the right breast that increased in size during the pregnancy and lactation period.
Meatless Monday is a global movement that encourages people to reduce meat in their diets for their own health and the health of the planet. We conducted a comprehensive review of primary and secondary sources and archival material documenting the origins, historical roots, and growth of Meatless Monday and simultaneous developments in public health. Sources for the paper included publications of the US Food Administration and articles and media identified using searches of ProQuest Historical Newspapers, Newspapers.

- The study aimed to determine whether pathological prognostic factors affect the prognosis of low-risk prostate cancer patients, who are generally considered to have a good outlook according to NCCN guidelines.
- Researchers analyzed data from 419 patients who underwent radical prostatectomy, focusing on various clinical and pathological factors related to biochemical recurrence-free survival.
- Results indicated that while pathological factors significantly impacted prognosis in the overall patient group, they did not influence survival outcomes for the 104 low-risk patients, suggesting that these patients may not need additional treatments despite pathological findings.
