Predictive biomarkers and tumor microenvironment in female genital melanomas: a multi-institutional study of 55 cases.

Female genital melanomas are rare. At diagnosis, most affected patients have advanced disease. Surgery remains the primary treatment, and adjuvant therapy is largely ineffective.

Tumor budding and poorly-differentiated cluster in prognostication in Stage II colon cancer.

Comparison between tumor budding (TB) and poorly-differentiated clusters (PDC) for prognostication in Stage II colon cancer was not extensively studied in literature. In this retrospective study, we assessed TB (according to the consensus statement in 2016) and PDC in 135 Stage II colon adenocarcinoma resection specimens. Counting of TB and PDC was performed on H&E slides.
