To date, no enclosure method for risk grouping patients with poorly-differentiated gastric adenocarcinoma has been identified. We examined the relationship between mutations in toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and patients with poorly-differentiated gastric adenocarcinoma. Genomic DNA was extracted from the peripheral blood of 38 patients, 20 with well-differentiated and 18 with poorly-differentiated gastric cancer, from 25 patients with colorectal cancer and from 10 healthy volunteers. The polymorphism of TLR4 up to the 2-kb upstream region of the 5' untranslated region (UTR) was analyzed. The results revealed the presence of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) only among patients with poorly-differentiated gastric adenocarcinoma. SNPs were found at 3 sites: -2081, -2026 and -1601 in 12, 15 and 15 of the 18 cases of poorly-differentiated gastric adenocarcinoma, respectively. The results of the determination of a consensus among the base sequences of the core promoter, basal promoter and upstream promoter elements reveal that the variant sites were present in the TLR4 mRNA promoter region, suggesting that they were biologically significant variations. Polymorphism analysis of the upstream region of the 5' UTR of TLR4 may be a useful new enclosure strategy for the risk grouping of poorly-differentiated gastric adenocarcinoma patients.

Background/aims: Gastric neuroendocrine tumors (GNETs), once rare, have become more prevalent due to the increased use of endoscopy and increased physician awareness. The clinical characteristics and long-term outcomes of GNET management were explored in this study.
Methods: The clinical data of 69 patients who treated at Seoul National University Hospital between January 2013 and October 2023 were retrospectively studied.

Background: Mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinoma (MANEC) of the cervix is a rare malignant tumor with high malignancy and poor prognosis, of which large-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma and HPV-independent adenocarcinoma are particularly rare, which have been reported limitedly in the literature. Here, we present 2 cases of MANEC of the cervix and discuss important considerations for diagnosing cervical poorly differentiated carcinoma.
Case Presentation: we reported two cases of mixed large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma and adenocarcinoma of the cervix, one HPV-independent and one HPV-associated, both with vaginal bleeding.

The Esophageal Adenocarcinoma Study Group Europe (EACSGE) recently proposed a granular histologic classification of esophageal-esophago-gastric junctional adenocarcinomas (EA-EGJAs) based on the study of naïve surgically resected specimens that, when combined with the pTNM stage, is an efficient indicator of prognosis, molecular events, and response to treatment. In this study, we compared histologic classes of endoscopic biopsies taken before surgical resection with those of the surgical specimen, to evaluate the potential of the EACSGE classification at the initial diagnostic workup. A total of 106 EA-EGJA cases with available endoscopic biopsies and matched surgical resection specimens were retrieved from five Italian institutions.
