Article Abstract
Purpose: Our study aimed to determine the prognostic significance of minor high-grade components (HGC) in non-invasive papillary urothelial carcinomas compared with pure low-grade and high-grade tumors.
Material And Methods: We retrospectively retrieved 273 in-house cases of non-invasive papillary urothelial carcinomas (pTa) from 2016 to 2018 for which follow up data was available in hospital archives. We stratified our data into four main groups (G). G1, pure low-grade (n = 164); G2, HGC ≤5 % (n = 17); G3, HGC >5 % to ≤25 % (n = 14); and G4, pure high-grade (n = 78). Prognosis was assessed in terms of recurrence, grade and stage of progression, metastasis, and death. The mean follow up duration was 34.72 ± 20 months (range 20-60 months).
Results: All four groups showed no difference in tumor recurrence (G1 81.7 %, G2 88.2 %, G3 92.9 %, G4 92.3 % p-value 0.183). In terms of grade progression, there was no significant difference in G2 35.3 % and G3 35.7 % and both groups showed worst prognosis compared to G1 16.5 % p-value 0.04. Regarding stage progression (G1 6.7 %, G2 23.5 %, G3 28.6 %, G4 41% p-value 0.001), metastasis (G1 5.5 %, G2 5.9 %, G3 7.1 %, G4 17.9 % p-value 0.01) and death (G1 4.3 %, G2 5.9 %, G3 7.1 %, G4 15.4 % p-value 0.02) there was no significant difference in G2 and G3 and both groups showed worst prognosis than G1 and better than G4.
Conclusion: Urothelial carcinomas with minor high-grade component ≤25 % behaved worst than pure low grade and better than pure high grade and should be treated as distinct grade entity.

Background: Upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) is a rare and highly aggressive malignancy characterized by poor prognosis, making the accurate identification of high-grade (HG) UTUC essential for subsequent treatment strategies. This study aims to develop and validate a nomogram model using computed tomography urography (CTU) images to predict HG UTUC.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted to include patients with UTUC who underwent radical nephroureterectomy and received a CTU examination prior to surgery.

The presence of cystic lymph nodes in the neck can present a challenging differential diagnosis, with considerations often including metastatic papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), cystic squamous cell carcinoma, and congenital cysts. The cytologic overlap between benign Müllerian inclusions and PTC features adds complexity, especially in unusual locations. A 45-year-old woman with a history of ovarian serous borderline tumor (SBT) and non-invasive Müllerian implants presented with cystic lymphadenopathy in the neck.

Background: This study aimed to report the long-term outcomes after surgical resection for invasive (I) intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) and to define prognostic factors for survival.
Methods: We retrospectively evaluated all consecutive pancreatic resections performed IPMN between January 1, 2007, and December 31, 2022. Multivariate Cox analysis identified risk factors for survival.

Background: The severity of thyroid cancer is judged on the basis of histologic and clinical features. A limited number of studies have considered urinary metabolite signatures for its diagnosis, and no reliable urinary metabolite biomarkers have been proposed. This diagnostic method would be particularly valuable because of its non-invasive nature.

Article Synopsis
- * The study examined the expression of p53 and E-cadherin in a group of 50 confirmed UC cases, using immunohistochemical methods to identify correlations with tumor grade and clinicopathological features.
- * Results showed that high-grade UC was prevalent and associated with low E-cadherin expression, indicating a potential relationship between reduced E-cadherin and tumor invasiveness, while elevated p53 was observed in all cases, suggesting its role in cancer progression.
