Low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (LG-ESS) can present diagnostic challenges, due to its overlapping morphological features with other uterine mesenchymal tumors. Misdiagnosis rates remain significant, and immunohistochemical data for LG-ESS are limited to small series and inconsistent antibody panels. This study aimed to refine the IHC profile of LG-ESS by analyzing a large, molecularly confirmed series of 147 cases using a panel of 24 antibodies, including newer markers like transgelin and smoothelin.

- The European Cancer Organisation's Essential Requirements for Quality Cancer Care (ERQCC) provide guidance on how to improve cancer treatment, focusing on ovarian cancer specifically.
- Ovarian cancer patients experience low cure rates due to inconsistent treatment and a need for specialized care, which should be provided in dedicated centers by qualified professionals.
- Centralized, patient-centered care throughout the entire treatment journey is essential for better outcomes but is not yet widely implemented across many European countries.
The aim of this study was to determine whether the presence and extent of lymphovascular invasion (LVI) is prognostic in surgical stage I cervical squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). All available tumour slides and/or paraffin blocks from 426 patients with stage I cervical SCC treated surgically with curative intent were collected from 18 institutions and retrospectively analysed. Presence and extent of LVI (focal <5 spaces, extensive ≥5 spaces) were assessed on scanning magnification in large haematoxylin and eosin slide sets in 366 cases.

Methods: This multicontinental retrospective study was conducted in 8 hospitals across Asia, Europe, and North America (NA). Clinicopathologic data of 595 patients with presumed early stages of CSCC, treated surgically, with curative intent was collected.
