Purpose: To evaluate the utility of stereotaxic core biopsy (SCB) in diagnosing recurrent carcinoma after breast-conserving therapy (BCT).
Materials And Methods: Of 316 patients evaluated with SCB, 17 (5%) had nonpalpable lesions in breasts previously treated with BCT. Surgical correlation was obtained in 14 patients. SCBs were performed with digital stereotaxic equipment, with patients prone.
Results: Carcinoma detected at SCB in 11 (79%) of 14 patients included infiltrating ductal carcinoma (IFDC) in five, ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) in five, and infiltrating lobular carcinoma (ILC) in one. Surgical histopathologic findings agreed with core biopsy findings in 10 of these patients. In one patient with two SCB-proved foci of IFDC, one IFDC was identified at mastectomy. In two (14%) patients, SCB revealed atypical ductal hyperplasia; however, DCIS was found at surgical biopsy. In one patient, the SCB finding of fat necrosis was confirmed at surgical biopsy.
Conclusion: These data suggest that SCB may be useful in diagnosing recurrent carcinoma in the conservatively treated breast.

Mixed neuroendocrine-non-neuroendocrine neoplasm (MiNEN) of the colon is rare with a poor prognosis. Since the first description of a mixed neoplasm 100 years ago, the nomenclature has evolved, most recently with the 2022 World Health Organization (WHO) classification system. We describe our experience of a case of locoregionally advanced MiNEN of the descending colon treated with curative laparoscopic resection and adjuvant chemotherapy.

The long-term impact of postoperative morbidity following laparoscopic liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma is unclear. This study aimed to investigate whether the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma patients were affected by postoperative morbidity after laparoscopic liver resection. Hepatocellular carcinoma patients who underwent curative-intent laparoscopic liver resection were included.

Traditionally, dermatological education emphasizes hair, skin and nails in its curriculum. There is a practice gap with regard to knowledge of normal oral mucosa variants, performance of the oral examination, and competence in diagnosing and treating oral mucosal disorders. The oral mucosa falls within the purview of dermatology.

Background: To improve outcomes for patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, a complete resection is crucial. However, evidence regarding the impact of microscopically positive surgical margins (R1) on recurrence is conflicting due to varying definitions and limited populations of patients with borderline-resectable and locally advanced pancreatic cancer. Therefore, we aimed to determine the impact of the resection margin status on recurrence and survival in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma stratified by local tumor stage.
