In a diagnostic setting, the histology laboratory is a key resource for production of quality tissues so the pathologist can make an appropriate diagnosis. In a research setting, the histology laboratory is a valuable resource in providing an excellent quality product for publications and grants for the investigator. Optimal collaboration with research investigators requires that histotechnologists recognize the diverse challenges and opportunities in research. This paper emphasizes the importance of positive interaction with researchers, optimizing professional service for these clients and recognizing key services of histology laboratories in a research setting to maximize success.

EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTS OF FAVIPIRAVIR (T-705) ON THE LUNG TISSUE OF HEALTY RATS: AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY.
Food Chem Toxicol
January 2025
Department of Histology and Embryology, Erciyes University, Faculty of Medicine, 38039 Kayseri, Turkey. Electronic address:
Favipiravir, a broad-spectrum RNA-dependent RNA polymerase inhibitor widely used during the COVID-19 pandemic, effectively reduces viral load but has been linked to inflammatory changes in tissues such as the liver and kidneys. High-dose and prolonged use of favipiravir for COVID-19 raises concerns about its potential toxic effects on the lungs, particularly in patients with pre-existing pulmonary conditions. This study investigated favipiravir's effects on lung tissue in healthy rats.

Article Synopsis
- This study focused on detecting Estrogen Receptor (ER), Progesterone Receptor (PR), and HER-2 in breast cancer to help categorize the disease and guide treatment choices.
- Researchers compared two preservation methods for breast tissue samples: traditional formalin fixation and RNAlater, utilizing Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) for analysis.
- Findings revealed that ER and PR were positive in 60% of samples, while HER-2 was positive in only 25%, with no significant statistical difference between the results from the two preservation methods.
PSMA-PET/CT Findings in Patients With High-Risk Biochemically Recurrent Prostate Cancer With No Metastatic Disease by Conventional Imaging.
JAMA Netw Open
January 2025
Ahmanson Translational Theranostics Division, Department of Molecular and Medical Pharmacology, David Geffen School of Medicine, University of California, Los Angeles.
Importance: The phase 3 randomized EMBARK trial evaluated enzalutamide with or without leuprolide in high-risk nonmetastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. Eligibility relied on conventional imaging, which underdetects metastatic disease compared with prostate-specific membrane antigen-positron emission tomography (PSMA-PET).
Objective: To describe the staging information obtained by PSMA-PET/computed tomography (PSMA-PET/CT) in a patient cohort eligible for the EMBARK trial.
First-line immune-based combinations or sunitinib in favorable-risk metastatic renal cell carcinoma: a real-world retrospective comparison from the ARON-1 study.

Oncology Unit, Macerata Hospital, Macerata, Italy.
Introduction: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is one of the most common types of urogenital cancer. The introduction of immune-based combinations, including dual immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) or ICI plus tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), has radically changed the treatment landscape for metastatic RCC, showing varying efficacy across different prognostic groups based on the International Metastatic RCC Database Consortium (IMDC) criteria.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective multicenter study, part of the ARON-1 project, aimed to evaluate the outcomes of favorable-risk metastatic RCC patients treated with immune-based combinations or sunitinib.

Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of serplulimab, a novel programmed death-1 inhibitor, with or without bevacizumab biosimilar HLX04 as first-line treatment in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.
Methods: This open-label, multicenter phase 2 study (clinicaltrials.gov identifier NCT03973112) was conducted in China and consisted of four treatment groups: group A (serplulimab 3 mg/kg plus HLX04 5 mg/kg, subsequent-line), group B (serplulimab 3 mg/kg plus HLX04 10 mg/kg, subsequent-line), group C (serplulimab 3 mg/kg, subsequent-line) and group D (serplulimab 3 mg/kg plus HLX04 10 mg/kg, first-line).
