Article Abstract

We analyzed the longitudinal concentrations and prognostic roles of plasma β-synuclein (β-syn), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), and neurofilament proteins (NfL and NfH) in 33 patients with malignant gliomas, who underwent surgical and adjuvant therapy. GFAP and NfL levels were increased in patients with glioblastoma compared to cases with other tumors. β-syn, NfL and NfH increased after surgery, whereas GFAP decreased at long-term follow-up. β-syn and neurofilament concentrations were influenced by surgery and/or radiotherapy regimens. GFAP and neurofilament levels were significantly associated with survival. Plasma neuronal and astrocytic biomarkers are differentially altered in malignant glioma types and displayed distinct trajectories after surgical and adjuvant therapy.

Background The optimal surgical management of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer with calcifications remains controversial, particularly when pathologic complete response (pCR) is suspected. Purpose To identify factors associated with pCR after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer and assess whether calcifications affect the performance of radiologic complete response (rCR) at MRI for predicting pCR. Materials and Methods This retrospective study included patients with HER2-positive breast cancer who received neoadjuvant docetaxel, carboplatin, trastuzumab, and pertuzumab and underwent surgery between January 2021 and October 2023.

Endometrial carcinoma is one of the most common gynecologic cancers worldwide. The condition typically occurs after menopause; however, young women under the age of 40 years can also be diagnosed with the disease. Providers may delay diagnosis in young patients due to nonspecific presentation or low clinical suspicion.

Objective: To present a case of metastatic endometrial carcinosarcoma (ECS) with a long-term complete response to chemotherapy using a paclitaxel and carboplatin regimen.

Case Report: A 47-year-old premenopausal woman was diagnosed with a large, advanced intrauterine tumor. She underwent a total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.

Recurrent cotyledonoid dissecting leiomyoma of the uterus: A case report.

Medicine (Baltimore)

September 2025

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Electric Power Teaching Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China.

Rationale: Cotyledonoid dissecting leiomyoma (CDL) is an exceptionally rare and morphologically unusual benign uterine leiomyoma. Its malignant-mimicking radiographic and intraoperative features pose a significant diagnostic challenge, often leading to misinterpretation and potentially overtreatment. This case is reported for its rarity and to highlight the critical importance of pathological recognition.
