Background: Lymph node metastasis is an important clinicopathological parameter for breast cancer prognostication and treatment. Although the development of metastasis is common in axillary lymph nodes, the mechanisms underlying the locoregional spread are yet poorly understood. In the present study, we outline the involvement of proteins in tumor invasion by comparing the proteome profile of primary breast tumors (PBT) against that of lymph node metastasis (LNM).
Patients And Methods: The comparative proteome analyses of seven paired samples were performed using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DE) and mass spectrometry (MS).
Results: Recurrent proteins were differentially expressed in PBT and LNM across patients. Higher levels of 1433G, 1433T, K2C8, PSME2, SNAA, TPM4, TRFE and VIME were observed in primary tumors compared to the metastatic site. On the other hand, higher levels of ALDH2 and GDIR2 were identified in metastasis related to tumors. These proteins provide a new insight on breast cancer research.
Conclusion: Our achievements strengthened previous omics-based studies and also support the validation of potential markers of tumor invasion and metastasis.

Background: The prognostic value of tumor regression grade (TRG) after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for rectal cancer is inconsistent in the literature. Both TRG and post-therapy lymph node (ypN) status could reflect the efficacy of neoadjuvant therapy. Here, we explored whether TRG combined with ypN status could be a prognostic factor for MRI-based lymph node-positive (cN+) rectal cancer following neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy.

Background: The histologic classification of rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) as alveolar (aRMS) or embryonal (eRMS) is of prognostic importance, with the aRMS being associated with a worse outcome. Specific gene fusions (PAX3/7::FOXO1) found in the majority of aRMS have been recognized as markers associated with poor prognosis and are included in current risk stratification instead of histologic subtypes in localized disease. In metastatic disease, the independent prognostic significance of fusion status has not been definitively established.

Background And Objective: Transesophageal endosonography, including endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) and endoscopic ultrasound with bronchoscope-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-B-FNA), has been applied to the diagnosis of benign as well as malignant diseases. This narrative review summarizes the recent use of EUS-(B)-FNA in diagnosing sarcoidosis.
Methods: A comprehensive and systematic online literature search of PubMed was conducted using the keywords ("sarcoidosis"), and ("EUS" OR "EUS-FNA" OR "EUS-B" OR "EUS-B-FNA" OR "endoscopic ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration" OR "endoscopic ultrasound using the EBUS scope guided fine needle aspiration" OR "endoscopic ultrasound using the EBUS bronchoscope" OR "transesophageal" OR "transesophageal endoscopic ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration" OR "transesophageal bronchoscopic ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration").
