Malignant mixed müllerian tumor (MMMT) arising from female internal genitalia is rare with the uterine corpus being the most prevalently affected site. It is even more rare when it occurs on both uterus and ovary at the same time. We describe a case of synchronized occurrence of MMMT on ovary and uterine adenosarcoma with review of literature.

Establishing genotype-phenotype correlations in disorders of hereditary endocrine neoplasia is important for clinical screening, genetic counseling, prognostication, surveillance, and surgical strategy, and may also provide clues about disease pathogenesis. Important genotype-phenotype correlations are recognized, for example, in pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma and multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A. The presence of such correlations has been less clear in other familial endocrine disorders associated with primary hyperparathyroidism including multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1), and the hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumor syndrome (HPT-JT).

Purpose: To evaluate cancer patients' willingness to pay for exercise services and oncology health professionals' perception of patients' willingness to pay.
Methods: A mixed-methods design was used. Online questionnaires and semi-structured interviews were administered to people with any type of cancer and oncology health professionals delivering clinical care.

Background And Purpose: We previously demonstrated positive effects on quality of life and mental health following breast cancer when comparing a nurse-led follow-up program without scheduled visits (MyHealth) to regular follow-up. This study aims to examine whether MyHealth also positively impacts self-reported work ability.
Patients/material And Methods: A total of 288 patients, potentially active on the labour market, were randomized to MyHealth or control follow-up after primary treatment for early-stage breast cancer (2017-2019).

Breast cancer is a significant cause of death from cancer in women globally, highlighting the need for improved diagnostic imaging to enhance patient outcomes. Accurate tumor identification is essential for diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring, emphasizing the importance of advanced imaging technologies that provide detailed views of tumor characteristics and disease. Recently, a new imaging modality named synthetic correlated diffusion imaging (CDI) has been showing promise for enhanced prostate cancer delineation when compared to existing MRI imaging modalities.

Breast cancer remains one of the most prevalent and lethal malignancies in women, particularly the estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) subtype, which accounts for approximately 70% of cases. Traditional endocrine therapies, including aromatase inhibitors, selective estrogen receptor degraders/antagonists (SERDs), and selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs), have improved outcomes for metastatic ER+ breast cancer. However, resistance to these agents presents a significant challenge.
