Infrared absorption spectra of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded human cervical tissue are reported for normal, dysplastic and neoplastic samples. The spectral differences found in this study between these states of the tissues are far less than those observed for single cells by us and others. Nevertheless, we find a direct correspondence between spectral data from tissue sections, obtained from biopsies, and individual exfoliated cells, typically obtained during a pap procedure. We also find that spectra due to dysplastic samples fall about halfway between the spectral features of normal and cancerous samples.

Our understanding of predictors of progression in Barrett's esophagus (BE) remains incomplete. To address this gap, we evaluated histological features and biomarkers that could predict dysplastic/neoplastic progression in patients with BE. We conducted a retrospective study to identify eligible BE patients and classified the cases into two groups: cases with BE progression (n = 10; progressing to high-grade dysplasia or carcinoma within five years of initial diagnosis) and cases without BE progression (n = 52; without progression to high-grade dysplasia or carcinoma within five years).

Extramammary Paget disease is an uncommon cutaneous malignancy that primarily affects areas rich in apocrine glands. Here, we aim to present an 84-year-old woman with a distinctive perianal neoplastic process comprised of conventional Paget disease with an intertwined in-situ glandular component. Rare foci of glands embedded in pools of mucin were also identified in the most recent excision, consistent with mucinous adenocarcinoma.

Objective: The differentiation between reactive atypical changes and dysplasia/carcinoma in the daily cases of cholecystectomies is a routine histopathological challenge. Up to our knowledge, no immunohistochemical marker can definitely differentiate between these two changes. Many promising markers have been proposed to be helpful tools in this situation.

Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is a genetic disease causing hundreds of premalignant polyps in affected persons and is an ideal model to study transitions of early precancer states to colorectal cancer (CRC). We performed deep multiomic profiling of 93 samples, including normal mucosa, benign polyps and dysplastic polyps, from six persons with FAP. Transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolomic and lipidomic analyses revealed a dynamic choreography of thousands of molecular and cellular events that occur during precancerous transitions toward cancer formation.
