Malignant proliferating trichilemmal tumors (MPTTs), arising from the external root sheath of hair follicles, are exceptionally rare, with limited documentation of their genetic alterations. We present a case of a 64-year-old African American woman who initially presented with a gradually enlarging nodule on her posterior scalp. An initial biopsy at an outside hospital suggested metastatic adenocarcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of an uncertain origin.

Background: This study aims to investigate the mutation status and protein expression of low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1B (LRP1B) in endometrial cancer, and analyze its association with lymph node metastasis (LNM) in endometrial cancer.
Methods: Targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) was conducted on both tumor tissues and paired blood DNA obtained from 94 endometrial cancer patients, followed by comprehensive analysis. Additionally, immunohistochemistry (IHC) was used to explore the correlation between LRP1B protein expression levels, its gene mutation status, and LNM.

Background: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Accurate risk stratification is essential for optimizing treatment strategies. A 14-gene RNA-level assay of lung cancer, which involves quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples, offers a promising approach.

Background: Immune biomarkers for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) and tumor mutational burden (TMB). However, they cannot accurately predict the effectiveness of immunotherapy. Identifying appropriate biomarkers that can differentiate between beneficiary groups is imperative.
