There is no reliable immune scoring system that can help us predict the postoperative outcomes of colorectal cancer patients with peritoneal metastases after cytoreductive surgery. In this cohort, the aims were (1) to evaluate the postoperative morbidity, mortality and surgical oncological outcomes in colorectal cancer patients with peritoneal metastasis; (2) to compare oncological and postoperative outcomes of colon cancer patients with peritoneal metastasis and rectal cancer patients with peritoneal metastasis; and (3) to assess the prognostic value of the modified Glasgow Prognostic Score (mGPS) and the CRP-albumin ratio (CAR). : A prospectively maintained database of 258 patients who underwent cytoreductive surgery for peritoneal metastases of colorectal origin between 2007 and 2024 was analyzed.

Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine malignancy, and accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management. Fine needle aspiration cytology, guided by the Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology, categorizes thyroid nodules into six categories, with Bethesda III and IV representing indeterminate diagnoses that pose significant challenges for clinical decision-making. Understanding the molecular profiles of these categories may enhance diagnostic accuracy and guide treatment strategies.

The lengthening of the lifespan led to an increase in breast cancer (BC) diagnosed in very old age, but the treatment recommendations in this patient group usually lack evidence-based practice. We conducted a prospective observational monocentric study specifically targeting patients diagnosed with invasive BC at 80 years of age or older. We enrolled 88 patients consecutively observed for a new BC diagnosis at 80 years or older.

Background/aim: Significant transcription factors - including c-Fos (gene locus: 14q24.3) and c-Jun (gene locus: 1p32-p31) - regulate cell homeostasis preventing abnormal signal transduction to nucleus. Their over-activation seems to be associated with an aggressive phenotype in non-small cell lung carcinomas (NSCLCs).

EGFR status assessment is mandatory for adjuvant decision-making of resected stage IB-IIIA non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NS-NSCLC). It is questionable whether single-gene RT-PCR versus next-generation sequencing (NGS) should be used for this evaluation. Moreover, co-occurring mutations have an impact on tumor behavior and may influence future therapeutic decision-making.
