Purpose: Liver and lung metastases demonstrate distinct biological, particularly immunological, characteristics. We investigated whether preoperative complete blood count (CBC) parameters, which may reflect the immune system condition, predict early dissemination to the liver and lungs in colorectal cancer (CRC).
Methods: In this retrospective single-centre study, we included 268 resected CRC cases with complete 2-year follow-up and analysed preoperative CBC for association with early liver or lung metastasis development.

: Breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally. This study investigates the impact of genetic polymorphisms in DNA methyltransferases ( and ) on breast cancer pathomorphology and patient prognosis. Specifically, we focused on polymorphisms rs2228611 and rs2228612 and polymorphisms rs2276598 and rs752208.

Background And Purpose: Metaplastic breast carcinoma (BC-Mp) is an uncommon subtype that poses unique challenges. The limited information on patient prognosis and therapeutic strategies motivated our research initiative. We aimed to assess disease-free survival (DFS), overall survival (OS), and influential factors in patients with nonmetastatic BC-Mp.

Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the top 10 causes of death worldwide and still poses a serious challenge to public health. Recent attention to neutrophils has uncovered unexplored areas demanding further investigation. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine neutrophil activation and circulatory neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation in various types of TB.

Hip dysplasia is a pathomorphologic deformity that leads to decreased acetabular coverage and hip instability. Many different radiographic measurements have been explored to characterize hip dysplasia, including the lateral center-edge angle, femoral-epiphyseal acetabular roof index, and Tönnis angle. Magnetic resonance imaging offers 3-dimensional characterization of the hip pathomorphology that may be more detailed than 2-dimensional radiographs, as well as a modality that is free of radiation.
