The measurement of Calcitonin (Ctn) in fine-needle aspiration (FNA) washout fluids (FNA-Ctn) has demonstrated excellent sensitivity, significantly higher than FNA cytology, in detecting medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). However, the absence of a fixed cutoff value for FNA-Ctn poses a limitation. This study aimed to investigate whether the sensitivity of FNA-Ctn in detecting MTC varies with different cutoffs reported in the literature.

Introduction: The incidence of cervical cancer in French Guiana is among the highest worldwide. It ranks 5th among all cancers and is the 2nd most common cancer in women after breast cancer. The primary objective of this study was to establish the proportion of high-grade cytological lesions of the cervix in women under 25 years of age who underwent a cervico-uterine smear (CUS) in French Guiana over a 10-year period.

Infection with Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) shows a higher risk of infection by Human papillomavirus (HPV). We aim to provide evidence about the effect of a -based vaginal gel (Papilocare®) for treating HPV in women with HIV. Women ≥25 years coinfected by endocervical HPV and with low-grade abnormal cervicovaginal cytology were treated for 6 months with Papilocare® in this observational, prospective, non-controlled pilot study.

Objective: With the transition from cytology to human papilloma virus (HPV) testing in cervical cancer screening, it is possible to use self-sampling instead of professionally collected samples. Most studies have included women between 20 and 60 years age. Here we aimed to study postmenopausal women and investigate whether vaginal self-sampling is equally effective as professional sampling for detection of HSIL and the possibility to use a method for molecular triage directly on the screening sample.

Article Synopsis
  • Hydatid disease, caused by the Echinococcus parasite, is a serious health issue in endemic areas, and breast involvement is notably rare; this case involves a 34-year-old Ethiopian woman initially misdiagnosed with breast cancer.
  • The patient presented with a painless swelling in her left breast that persisted for nine months, without symptoms typically associated with cancer, such as discharge or skin changes.
  • Diagnostic imaging and tests ultimately confirmed that the mass was a hydatid cyst, highlighting the need for healthcare professionals to consider less common conditions in their diagnosis of breast masses in endemic regions.
