Prognostic Value of IMP3 Expression in Squamous Cervical Cancer.

Cervical cancer remains one of the leading causes of death from malignant diseases in women worldwide. Primary and secondary prevention have led to better outcomes in developed countries, whereas in developing countries, cervical cancer continues to be responsible for an unjustifiably high number of fatalities. The discovery of new tumor biomarkers can lead to earlier diagnosis, better therapeutic decisions, and improved treatment methods.

Clinical and imaging manifestations of intracerebral hemorrhage in brain tumors and metastatic lesions: a comprehensive overview.

Purpose: This observational study aims to provide a detailed clinical and imaging characterization/workup of acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) due to either an underlying metastasis (mICH) or brain tumor (tICH) lesion.

Blood Vessel Invasion Is an Independent Prognostic Factor in Endometrial Endometrioid Carcinoma Compared to Lymph Vessel Invasion and Myometrial Invasion Pattern.

We studied 115 cases of EEC diagnosed on hysterectomy specimens. Double immunohistochemical staining (D2-40/CD31) was performed in all 115 cases to show LVI and BVI on the same slide. MELF pattern invasion was present in 24/115 (21%) cases.

Pitfalls in Gynecological Cytology: Review of the Common and Less Frequent Entities in Pap Test.

It can be a consequence of misinterpretation of certain morphological entities which are described in this paper.

Summary: The paper presents an overview of the morphological features and look-alikes of the common sources of pitfalls such as atrophy, repair, intrauterine device change, tubal metaplasia, hyperchromatic crowded groups, and radiation changes.
