Purpose: Most site-specific cancer incidence is increased with the decrease of glomerular filtration rate (GFR). We analyzed endometrial cancers depending on different type, staging, and histology grades. We hypothesized that patients with lower GFR levels have an increased risk for higher staging and histology grades of endometrial cancers.

Methods: Patients were divided into two subgroups regarding GFR; the first group with GFR < 60 ml/min and the second group with GFR > 60 ml/min and regarding different histology grades and cancer stages. Cancers were also divided by stages (1-4). Patients were followed up during 1 year through regular controls in the outpatient clinic and during that time cancer recurrence was recorded.

Results: GFR was the strongest predictor for higher cancer histology grade and higher cancer staging. Patients with reduced GFR had OR for higher histology grade and higher staging of 1.06 and 1.06. Traditional risk factors for endometrial cancer development were not associated with higher histology grade or higher cancer staging.

Conclusion: Higher staging and histology grades in patients with endometrial cancers are associated with reduced GFR. Patients with mild-to-moderate CKD had significantly higher number of cancers with higher histology grades and higher stages than patients with mild or normal GFR category. Decline in GFR was independently associated with more aggressive cancers without other well-known risk factors for endometrial cancer development like age, menopause, diabetes, and obesity.

Low-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma is an uncommon malignancy that can be difficult to identify and for which there is no unified treatment protocol. We report herein a case of an 81-year-old male who presented with a giant irregular breast mass and was diagnosed with low-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma. In this study we summarise the clinicopathological features of 13 reported cases of myofibroblastic sarcoma arising in the breast, present the diagnostic process and treatment procedure of our case, and discuss the differential diagnosis from other similar diseases, to provide constructive information and promote deep understanding of myofibroblastic sarcoma in the future.

Pediatric low-grade glioma (PLGG) is a heterogeneous group of primary central nervous system malignancies which represent the most frequent brain tumors in children. Although diagnosis and treatment of PLGG have been improved recently, the molecular mechanisms underlying the oncogenesis and progression of PLGG remain elusive. Studies have revealed critical roles of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in brain tumor progressions.

Background/aims: Studies on the clinical outcomes after detecting low-grade dysplasia (LGD) in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are insufficient. This study evaluated the clinical features, frequency, and risk factors for advanced neoplasia in patients with IBD after an LGD diagnosis.

Methods: The medical records of 166 patients with IBD from six university hospitals in Korea from 2010 to 2019 were reviewed retrospectively.

Identification of the clinical and genetic characteristics of gliomas with gene fusions by integrated genomic and transcriptomic analysis.

Eur J Med Res

January 2025

Department of Neurosurgery, Institute of Brain Diseases, Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University, Guangzhou Avenue North No.1838, Guangzhou, 510515, Guangdong, People's Republic of China.

The identification of oncogenic gene fusions in diffuse gliomas may serve as potential therapeutic targets and prognostic indicators, representing a novel strategy for treating gliomas consistent with the principles of personalized medicine. This study identified detectable oncogene fusions in glioma patients through an integrated analysis of genomic and transcriptomic data, which encompassed whole exon sequencing and next-generation RNA sequencing. In addition, this study also conducted a comparison of the genetic characteristics, tumor microenvironment, mutation burden and survival between glioma patients with or without gene fusions.

Outcomes in stage IIA versus stage IIB/III in the PALLAS trial [ABCSG-42/AFT-05/PrE0109/BIG-14-13]).

Breast Cancer Res

Austrian Breast & Colorectal Cancer Study Group (ABCSG), Vienna, Austria.

Background: The PALLAS trial investigated the addition of palbociclib to standard adjuvant endocrine therapy to reduce breast cancer recurrence. This pre-specified analysis was conducted to determine whether adjuvant palbociclib benefited patients diagnosed with lower risk stage IIA disease compared to those with higher stage disease.

Methods: PALLAS was an international, multicenter, randomized, open-label, phase III trial, representing a public-private partnership between Pfizer, the Austrian Breast Cancer Study Group, and the U.
