Breaking barriers: The impact of telemedicine on improving soft tissue and bone tumor management in Armenia.

Purpose: Musculoskeletal sarcomas are a rare group of malignant neoplasms, accounting for approximately 12 % of all malignant neoplasms among children. Childhood cancer outcomes vary between developed and developing countries due to financial and educational inequalities. Telemedicine programs have a huge impact on the quality of cancer care, helping to optimize resources for better cancer care in a resource-limited setting.

High interobserver variability of PTEN immunohistochemistry defining PTEN status in low- to intermediate-risk prostate cancer: results of the first German ring trial.

The prognostication of individual disease trajectory and selection of optimal therapy in patients with localized, low-grade prostate cancer often presents significant difficulty. The phosphatase and tensin homolog on chromosome 10 (PTEN) has emerged as a potential novel biomarker in this clinical context, based on its demonstrated prognostic significance in multiple retrospective studies. Incorporation into standard clinical practice necessitates exceptional diagnostic accuracy, and PTEN's binary readout-retention or loss-suggests its suitability as a biomarker.

The C-type lectin receptor MINCLE interferes with eosinophil function and protective intestinal immunity in Strongyloides ratti-infected mice.

Strongyloides ratti is a helminth parasite that displays tissue-migrating and intestinal life stages. Myeloid C-type lectin receptors (CLRs) are pattern recognition receptors that recognize pathogen-derived ligands and initiate immune responses. To date, the role of CLRs in S.

Single-cell transcriptomics link gene expression signatures to clinicopathological features of gonadotroph and lactotroph PitNET.

Background: Pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNET) are among the most common intracranial tumors. Despite a frequent benign course, aggressive behavior can occur. Tumor behavior is known to be under the influence of the tumor microenvironment (TME).
