Thirty-three cases of primary adenocarcinoma localized to the fallopian tubes were analyzed according to prognostic factors such as depth of infiltration, tumor differentiation, and lymph vessel invasion. Fifteen patients (45, 5%) died of recurrence within 5 years. Only for positive vessel invasion was the survival significance worse. Combination chemotherapy seems promising compared to radiotherapy in these early stages.

Background And Aims: Current gastric cancer (GC) screening modalities are invasive and expensive. Noninvasive screening for GC precursors with serum pepsinogen (PG) may improve early detection and prevention. Test characteristics of PG based on US prospective data was recently reported and used to study the cost-effectiveness of PG screening vs no screening in the US.

Background: Mucinous adenocarcinoma is a rare type of colorectal cancer (CRC) associated with poor prognosis, particularly when it includes signet ring cell components. Furthermore, its rate of microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) is significantly higher compared to non-mucinous adenocarcinoma. Immunotherapy has emerged as the standard treatment for MSI-H metastatic CRC (mCRC).

Background And Aims: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence was previously characterized into four types, and patients with progression/hyper-progression recurrence (type III-IV) have an extremely poor prognosis. However, the immune background of resectable HCC, particularly in patients who experience recurrence, remains underexplored. Therefore, this study aimed to describe the immune landscape of resectable HCC, especially postoperative type III-IV recurrent HCC, and explore potential immune-targeted anti-relapse strategies for treated populations.

Delta-like protein (DLL3) is a novel therapeutic target. DLL3 expression in gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NECs) is poorly understood, complicating the distinction between well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors G3 (NET G3) and poorly differentiated NEC. DLL3 immunohistochemistry (IHC) was performed on 248 primary GEP-NECs, correlating with clinicopathological parameters, NE markers, PD-L1, Ki67 index, and prognosis.

A 36-year-old woman with a history of neck swelling was diagnosed with papillary thyroid carcinoma, a common but typically slow-growing thyroid cancer with a good prognosis. Despite frequent lymph node metastasis, mortality rates are low. This cancer can rarely spread to unusual areas like the axillary region.
