Background: The appropriateness of endoscopic resection in patients with T1 colorectal carcinomas is unclear. Highly precise predictors of lymph node metastasis are required to optimize the outcomes of treatments for T1 colorectal carcinomas.

Objective: The purpose of this work was to identify predictors of lymph node metastasis by examining the clinicopathologic significance of immunophenotypes found in T1 colorectal carcinomas.

Design: This was a retrospective study.

Settings: The study was conducted at a university hospital.

Patients: Included were 265 patients with T1 colorectal carcinoma who underwent radical surgery.

Interventions: Patients with T1 colorectal carcinoma were managed.

Main Outcome Measures: Immunophenotypes were associated with various clinicopathologic parameters, and CD10 expression was strongly associated with lymph node metastasis.

Results: The levels of MUC2, MUC5AC, and CD10 expression were individually significantly associated with tumor location, growth pattern, histologic type, invasive potential, and metastatic potential. The incidence of lymph node metastasis was significantly associated with each of the 5 following parameters: depth of submucosal invasion (p = 0.005), tumor budding (p < 0.001), lymphatic invasion (p < 0.001), MUC2 expression (p = 0.006), and CD10 expression (p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that CD10 expression (OR, 9.2 [95% CI, 2.5-39.8]; p = 0.001) and lymphatic invasion (OR, 6.3 [95% CI, 2.5-17.7]; p < 0.001) were independently associated with lymph node metastasis.

Limitations: This study was limited by its small sample size, intraobserver variation attributed to immunohistochemical staining, and potential selection bias because surgically resected specimens were collected instead of endoscopically resected specimens.

Conclusions: We suggest that CD10 expression is closely associated with lymph node metastasis in T1 colorectal carcinoma.

Programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) and programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) interactions are targets for immunotherapies aimed to reinvigorate T cell function. Recently, it was documented that PD-L1 regulates dendritic cell (DC) migration through intracellular signaling events. In this study, we find that both preclinical murine and clinically available human PD-L1 antibodies limit DC migration.

Objective: To conduct a meta-analysis assessing the diagnostic performance of the node reporting and data system (Node-RADS) for detecting lymph node (LN) invasion.

Method: We performed a systematic literature search of online scientific publication databases from inception up to July 31, 2024. We used the quality assessment of diagnostic accuracy studies-2 (QUADAS-2) to assess the study quality, and heterogeneity was determined by the Q-test and measured with I statistics.

Background: Gastric cancer poses a major diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Improved visualization of tumor margins and lymph node metastases with tumor-specific fluorescent markers could improve outcomes.

Methods: To establish orthotopic models of gastric cancer, one million cells of the human gastric cancer cell line, MKN45, were suspended in 50 μl of equal parts PBS and Matrigel and injected into the nude mouse stomach with a 29-gauge needle.

Introduction: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is associated with poor prognosis. The roles of the transcription factor special AT-rich binding protein-2 (SATB2) and β-catenin in PDAC have been a subject of controversy. We aimed to assess the diagnostic and prognostic impact of SATB2 and β-catenin in PDAC.
