Evaluation of Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocytes as Predictors of Response to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Patients With Locally Advanced Breast Cancer.

Background This study aimed to evaluate tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) as predictors of response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in patients with locally advanced breast cancer (LABC). Methods Overall, 35 patients with LABC were included in the study. Information on demographic profile, medical history, and signs and symptoms was collected for each patient, and a complete clinical evaluation was conducted, which involved physical examination, imaging studies (mammogram/ultrasound imaging), biopsy of each patient, and a metastatic workup.

DOG1-Positive Extragastrointestinal Stromal Tumor Presenting As Large Abdomino-Pelvic Mass: A Case Report.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are mesenchymal tumors commonly arising from the GI tract. Only a small number of GIST originating outside the GI tract have been reported in the literature. They are termed extraintestinal GIST (E-GIST), with histological features similar to GIST.
