DEK::AFF2 fusion nonkeratinizing squamous cell carcinoma (NKSCC) is an emerging entity in the sinonasal tract, temporal bone, and skull base. However, the clinical behavior of these tumors has not been well studied. Here, we report the largest cohort of DEK::AFF2 carcinomas to determine if morphology, mitotic rate, and/or Ki-67 IHC are associated with patient outcomes, including a comparison with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated and independent patients.

This prospective study examines the impact of an mBC MDM on management plans, their implementation rate, and costs and benefits at an Australian metropolitan breast cancer center.
Methods: Consecutive mBC MDM patients were enrolled.
Auditory cortex encodes information about nonlinear combinations of spectro-temporal sound features. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) provide an architecture for generalizable encoding models that can predict time-varying neural activity evoked by natural sounds with substantially greater accuracy than established models. However, the complexity of CNNs makes it difficult to discern the computational properties that support their improved performance.
