ERBB2/ERBB3-mutated S100/SOX10-positive uterine sarcoma: something new.

Virchows Arch

December 2024

Department of Pathology, University of California San Diego Health, 9300 Campus Point Drive, Suite 1-200, La Jolla, MC 7723, San Diego, CA, 92037, USA.

A distinctive subset of uterine mesenchymal tumors display recurrent genetic fusions involving receptor tyrosine kinases, including NTRK, PDGFB, FGFR1, and RET, presumably leading to aberrant pathway activation. A pair of recent studies have highlighted the existence of a genetic fusion-negative uterine sarcoma that is characterized by activating mutations in ERBB2/ERBB3, CDKN2A deletion, inactivating ATRX mutation, and a S100 + /SOX10 + immunohistochemical profile. This report describes another case of this emerging entity that was diagnosed in a 57-year-old woman.

Informed consent in gynecological oncology: a JAGO/NOGGO survey on real-world practices in daily clinical routine.

Arch Gynecol Obstet

November 2024

Young Academy of Gynecologic Oncology (JAGO), Nord-Ostdeutsche Gesellschaft für Gynäkologische Onkologie, 13359, Berlin, Germany.

Purpose: Informed consent is a quintessential element of contemporary medicine, reflecting the fundamental right of patients to participate in decision-making regarding their health. Despite its critical importance, there is a lack of data on real-world practices regarding patient informed consent in the context of modern, high-pressure medical environments.

Methods: We conducted a multinational multicentric survey from February 24, 2022, to September 14, 2022, investigating the practices and challenges surrounding informed consent in hospitals across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland with the use of a specifically developed questionnaire.

Common symptoms include postprandial abdominal pain, diarrhea, and weight loss. While laparoscopic MAL division has long been considered the procedure of choice, robotic-assisted procedures have been increasingly used since their introduction.

Autoantibody mediated deficiency of IL-36-receptor antagonist in a subset of patients with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.

Immunol Lett

José Carreras Center for Immuno- and Gene Therapy and Internal Medicine I, Saarland University Medical School, Homburg, Saar, Germany. Electronic address:

Objective: Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is known as a seronegative form of spondylarthropathy. The interleukin-36 cytokine family may have a major role in disease pathogenesis and particularly the related cutaneous manifestations. In light of our recent observations on (transient) autoantibody phenotypes neutralizing endogenous anti-inflammatory receptor antagonists (progranulin, IL-1Ra) in different inflammatory conditions, we set out to investigate the potential role of such antibodies targeting IL-36 cytokine family members in PsA and psoriasis without arthritic manifestations (Pso).
