Objective: We examined the epidemiology of parotid gland lymphomas (PGL), the incidence, survival rates, clinical features, and association with primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS).

Methods: This retrospective nationwide cohort study analyzed data from Danish patients diagnosed with PGL between 2000 and 2020. Data were collected from medical records, the National Pathology Register, and the Danish lymphoma database.

Article Synopsis
  • - This study investigates the occurrence, survival rates, and the impact of autoimmune diseases on lymphomas specifically affecting the submandibular gland (SMG) in Denmark from 2000 to 2020.
  • - Among 101 patients diagnosed, different lymphoma types were identified, with extranodal marginal zone lymphoma (EMZL) showing the best survival outcomes, particularly in comparison to other subtypes.
  • - The research highlights a link between EMZL and autoimmune diseases, especially Sjögren's syndrome, and underlines that age over 60 significantly worsens overall survival.

Introduction: Following endoscopic removal of malignant colorectal polyps, patients may undergo completion radical resection or surveillance. The optimal surveillance strategy remains unknown. This study included colorectal departments in Scandinavian countries with a focus on follow-up periods and examination modalities for patients with endoscopically removed malignant polyps with a resection margin > 1 mm.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Zain Asheer"

  • - Zain Asheer's recent research primarily focuses on the epidemiology and clinical outcomes of lymphomas, specifically targeting the submandibular gland, and factors influencing survival rates and incidence in patients with autoimmune diseases.
  • - The recent nationwide cohort study conducted in Denmark examines data spanning two decades (2000-2020) to comprehensively understand the characteristics and treatment outcomes of patients diagnosed with submandibular gland lymphomas.
  • - In addition, Asheer has investigated the follow-up practices for patients with malignant colorectal polyps across Scandinavian countries, emphasizing the need for standardized surveillance strategies post-endoscopic treatment to optimize patient care.
