Objective: To evaluate the frequency of intraductal component (IDC-P) in prostatic adenocarcinoma and its effect on the final grade using the ISUP and GUPS grading system.
Study Design: Descriptive study. Place and Duration of the Study: Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Centre, Lahore, between June 2021 and June 2022.
Methodology: The study included 250 cases of prostatic adenocarcinoma. The presence of the intraductal carcinoma prostate (IDC-P) was confirmed by patchy or complete staining of the basal cell layer by p63 immunohistochemical stain. Cases with IDC-P were then graded using two different methods, first using the grading criteria based on the ISUP recommendations and then by the grading criteria based on the GUPS recommendations.
Results: Two hundred and fifty cases showed invasive prostatic carcinoma ranging from Gleason grade group 2-5. IDC-P was identified in 5 of the 250 biopsies (2%). The final Gleason grade remained unchanged in these cases, when they were graded using the ISUP and GUPS recommendations.
Conclusion: Although the present results are based on a relatively small sample size, IDC-P was not frequently present in biopsies of patients with adenocarcinoma in the studied population. Grading IDC-P in invasive prostate cancer led to only a minor change in grade group assignment of prostate cancer biopsies.
Key Words: Prostatic adenocarcinoma, Intraductal carcinoma, IDC-P, ISUP, GUPS, Gleason Grade group.

Background/objectives: Positive pancreatic juice cytology (PJC) is an important finding when considering surgical resection in patients with intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN); however, guidelines do not recommend endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for PJC. This study aimed to clarify the findings worthy of adding PJC for diagnosing high-grade dysplasia (HGD) and invasive carcinoma (IC) in patients with IPMN.
Methods: Patients with IPMN who underwent preoperative PJC and surgical resection at Hiroshima University Hospital were enrolled, and the diagnostic yield of malignant IPMN based on PJC and clinical and imaging findings and the incidence of post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP) were retrospectively analyzed.

(1) Background: To make recommendations on the most effective therapy options for Ductal Carcinoma of the Breast (DCIS) patients; (2) Methods: MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, PROSPERO databases, and main relevant guideline websites were searched. Draft versions of the guideline went through formal internal and external reviews, with a final approval by the Program in Evidence Based Care and the DCIS Expert Panel. The Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation approach was followed; (3) Results: Based on the current evidence from the systematic review and this guideline authors' clinical opinions, initial draft recommendations were developed to improve the management of patients with DCIS.

Advisability of humoral predictors (tumor markers, inflammatory markers, circulating leptin and branched-chain amino acids, etc.) is in identifying prognostic signs suitable for risk stratification of IPMN malignant transformation and, therefore, determining treatment strategy for a particular patient.

Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a noninvasive breast disease that variably progresses to invasive breast cancer (IBC). Given the unpredictability of this progression, most DCIS patients are aggressively managed similar to IBC patients. Undoubtedly, this treatment paradigm places many DCIS patients at risk of overtreatment and its significant consequences.

We report a case of solid papillary carcinoma (SPC) that developed at the site of a previous intraductal papilloma (IDP) with atypical ductal hyperplasia. This case supports IDP as a potential precursor lesion to SPC.
