European cancer mortality predictions for the year 2025 with focus on breast cancer.

Ann Oncol

February 2025

Department of Clinical Sciences and Community Health, University of Milan, Milan, Italy. Electronic address:

Background: We predicted the number of cancer deaths and rates for 2025 in the European Union (EU), its five most populous countries, and the UK, focusing on breast cancer.

Materials And Methods: We derived population data and death certificates for all cancers and major sites for the EU, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, and the UK since 1970, from the World Health Organization and United Nations databases. Estimates for 2025 were computed by linear regression on recent trends identified through Poisson joinpoint regression, considering the slope of the most recent trend segment.

Non-invasive Lobular Neoplasia: Review and Updates.

Semin Diagn Pathol

March 2025

Department of Pathology, Baptist Hospital of Miami, Baptist Health System, Miami, FL, USA.

Non-invasive lobular neoplasia (LN) encompasses atypical lobular hyperplasia (ALH), classic lobular carcinoma in situ (CLCIS), florid lobular carcinoma in situ (FLCIS), and pleomorphic lobular carcinoma in situ (PLCIS). Lobular neoplasia is a neoplastic epithelial proliferation of the terminal duct lobular unit. A defining feature is discohesion due to the loss of E-cadherin, a protein that facilitates cell-to-cell adhesion.

Purpose: We developed software that can analyze central lung distance (CLD) and central skin distance (CSD) in deep inspiration breath hold (DIBH) irradiation and verified the reproducibility of the DIBH irradiation method in our hospital.

Methods: CLD and CSD were analyzed using In-house software using cine images acquired during treatment; intra- or inter-fractional motion was calculated from the obtained data and compared with other reports using systematic error (ΔΣ) and random error (Δσ).

Results: The ΔΣ and Δσ were 1.
