Background: Muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is a prevalent cancer characterized by molecular and clinical heterogeneity. Assessing the spatial heterogeneity of the MIBC microenvironment is crucial to understand its clinical significance.

Methods: In this study, we used imaging mass cytometry (IMC) to assess the spatial heterogeneity of MIBC microenvironment across 185 regions of interest in 40 tissue samples.

Mesothelioma is a lethal cancer. Despite promising outcomes associated with immunotherapy, durable responses remain restricted to a minority of patients, highlighting the need for improved strategies that better predict outcome. Here, we described the development of a mesothelioma-specific gene signature that accurately predicts survival.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates benign histiocytic proliferation in effusions, noting its similarities to diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and lupus, while highlighting potential confusion with malignant tumors.
  • Out of 755 benign effusion cases analyzed over a year, 35 cases exhibited histiocytic signet ring cell features, emphasizing the importance of correct diagnosis.
  • Key characteristics of these benign histiocytes include clear cytoplasm, eccentric nuclei, and a specific morphology that distinguishes them from malignant cells, confirmed through immunohistochemical staining.

Pleural mesothelioma (PM) is an aggressive cancer with limited treatment options. In particular, the frequent loss of tumor suppressors, a key oncogenic driver of the disease that is therapeutically intractable, has hampered the development of targeted cancer therapies. Here, we interrogate the PM genome using CRISPR-mediated gene editing to systematically uncover PM cell susceptibilities and provide an evidence-based rationale for targeted cancer drug discovery.

Article Synopsis
  • The PRECINCT study evaluated how different morphological appearances of peritoneal malignancies on imaging related to pathological findings in a large patient group.
  • It involved the analysis of imaging from 630 patients across seven centers, using 24 morphological terms to describe peritoneal tumors, highlighting high pathological positivity rates for several specific appearances.
  • The study recommends standardizing morphological descriptions in radiology reports to improve diagnostic accuracy and proposes that expert radiologists develop a consensus on terminology for better communication in clinical practice.
