AI Article Synopsis

  • A new international dataset for pathology reporting focuses on ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and several types of lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS), developed by the International Collaboration on Cancer Reporting (ICCR).
  • The dataset includes 12 core required elements and 5 recommended noncore elements aimed at improving communication between breast surgeons, pathologists, and oncologists for better patient care worldwide.
  • This standardized reporting system is expected to enhance clinicopathological communication, improve patient outcomes, and support international research efforts in breast disease management.

Article Abstract

Aims: To describe a new international dataset for pathology reporting of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), variants of lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) and low-grade lesions (encapsulated papillary carcinoma, solid papillary carcinoma in situ, Paget's disease) produced by the International Collaboration on Cancer Reporting (ICCR).

Methods And Results: The ICCR, a global alliance of pathology bodies, uses a rigorous and efficient process for the development of evidence-based, structured datasets for pathology reporting of common cancers. Their aim is to support quality pathology reporting and engender understanding between the breast surgeon, pathologist, and oncologist for optimal and uniform patient management globally. Here we describe the dataset for DCIS, some variants of LCIS (namely the pleomorphic and the florid variants), and low-grade lesions by a multidisciplinary panel of internationally recognized experts. The agreed dataset comprises 12 core (required) and five noncore (recommended) elements suitable for both developed and low-income jurisdictions, derived from a review of current evidence. Areas of contention were addressed using a pragmatic approach in the absence of evidence. Use of all core elements is the minimum reporting standard for any individual case. Commentary is provided, explaining each element's clinical relevance, definitions to be applied where appropriate for the agreed list of value options and the rationale for considering the element as core or noncore.

Conclusion: This first internationally agreed dataset for DCIS, variants of LCIS, and low-grade lesions reporting will enable their standardization of pathology reporting and enhance clinicopathological communication leading to improved patient outcomes. Widespread adoption will also facilitate international comparisons, multinational clinical trials, and help to improve the management of breast disease globally.

Mixed neuroendocrine-non-neuroendocrine neoplasm (MiNEN) of the colon is rare with a poor prognosis. Since the first description of a mixed neoplasm 100 years ago, the nomenclature has evolved, most recently with the 2022 World Health Organization (WHO) classification system. We describe our experience of a case of locoregionally advanced MiNEN of the descending colon treated with curative laparoscopic resection and adjuvant chemotherapy.

Elevated MRPS23 expression facilitates aggressive phenotypes in breast cancer cells.

Department of Integrative Medicine, Huashan Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai, China.

Mitochondrial ribosomal protein S23 (MRPS23), encoded by a nuclear gene, is a well-known driver of proliferation in cancer. It participates in mitochondrial protein translation, and its expression association has been explored in many types of cancer. However, MRPS23 expression associations are rarely reported in breast cancer (BC).

Investigating intrauterine exposure to methamphetamine on serine-threonine kinase pathway in male rat testis.

Cell Mol Biol (Noisy-le-grand)

Department of Physiology, Faculty of Medicine, Tehran Medical Sciences, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, Iran.

Article Synopsis
  • Intrauterine exposure to methamphetamine (METH) during pregnancy negatively impacts testicular development in offspring, leading to apoptosis in spermatids.
  • Research focused on proteins involved in sperm growth pathways, particularly TSSK and RIPK2, showing significant changes in their expression levels due to METH exposure.
  • Findings indicated that METH exposure resulted in decreased TSSK expression, increased RIPK2 expression, thinner germ layers, more inflammatory cells, and a reduction in the thickness of seminiferous tubules in rat testes.

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is an intestinal inflammatory and necrotic disease seen in premature infants, and remains the leading cause of death resulted from gastrointestinal diseases in premature infants. The specific pathogenesis of NEC is still unclear. In recent years, a lot of studies have reported that Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) plays a key role in the pathogenesis of NEC.

Cowden Syndrome and Oral Lesions: A Case Report Using MLPA.

Am J Case Rep

January 2025

Research Institute of Dentistry, Department of Integral Dental Clinics, University Center of Health Sciences, Universidad de Guadalajara, Guadalajara, Mexico.

BACKGROUND Cowden syndrome is a genetic disorder that predisposes individuals to cancer and is characterized by hamartomas derived from 3 germ layers. Although the clinical signs can be pathognomonic, diagnosis is often aided by biopsies, histopathological examination of oral and cutaneous lesions, and genetic studies, including multiple ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA). CASE REPORT We report a case of a 35-year-old woman who manifested with multiple lesions in the buccal mucosa, dorsum of the tongue, and gums, along with papillomatous papules on her facial skin and the dorsal surfaces of her hands.
