Background: High IMP3 expression is correlated with a worse outcome. Until now, there have been no data about IMP3 expression and clinical outcome for high-risk localisation of squamous cell carcinoma of the skin (cSCC).
Methods: One-hundred twenty-two patients with cSCC of the lip and ear were included, and IMP3 expression in the tumours was immunohistochemically assessed in different evaluation approaches. Subsequently, subgroups were analysed in a matched pair approach and correlated with clinical pathologic parameters. In the following, different IMP3 analysis methods were tested for clinical suitability.
Results: We found a significant correlation between IMP3 expression and risk for lymph node metastasis, local relapse, and progression-free survival.
Conclusions: On basis of our data, we suggest a prognostic benefit cutoff value for high (>50%) and low (<50%) IMP3 expression. Thus, IMP3 expression has a high scientific potential for further studies and could potentially be used as a prognostic marker in diagnostic and therapeutic decision-making.

Introduction: The role of IMP3, CDK4, MDM2 and β-catenin proteins in Enchondroma and Central Chondrosarcoma is not totally understood. The aim of this study is to evaluate the immunoexpression of these proteins, associating histological grade, clinical data and prognosis to these tumors.
Methods: This is a retrospective-analytical study of 32 Enchondroma and 70 Central Chondrosarcoma.

Cervical cancer remains one of the leading causes of death from malignant diseases in women worldwide. Primary and secondary prevention have led to better outcomes in developed countries, whereas in developing countries, cervical cancer continues to be responsible for an unjustifiably high number of fatalities. The discovery of new tumor biomarkers can lead to earlier diagnosis, better therapeutic decisions, and improved treatment methods.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the use of IMP3 immunohistochemistry (IHC) as a diagnostic tool for primary diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the central nervous system (CNS-DLBCL), which is challenging to diagnose due to limited biopsy material.
- - Results showed strong IMP3 expression in 100% of CNS-DLBCL samples, while it was also present in 88.2% of other DLBCLs, but not in inflammatory brain diseases.
- - While IMP3 IHC can help distinguish CNS-DLBCL in cases with limited tumor cells, most cases can be diagnosed without it, indicating that it serves as a supportive diagnostic technique rather than a primary one.
