Article Abstract
The current study aimed to examine the prevalence of and risk factors for cancer and pre-cancerous conditions, comparing transgender and cisgender individuals, using 2012-2023 electronic health record data from a large healthcare system. We identified 2,745 transgender individuals using a previously validated computable phenotype and 54,900 matched cisgender individuals. We calculated the prevalence of cancer and pre-cancer related to human papillomavirus (HPV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), tobacco, alcohol, lung, breast, colorectum, and built multivariable logistic models to examine the association between gender identity and the presence of cancer or pre-cancer. Results indicated similar odds of developing cancer across gender identities, but transgender individuals exhibited significantly higher risks for pre-cancerous conditions, including alcohol-related, breast, and colorectal pre-cancers compared to cisgender women, and HPV-related, tobacco-related, alcohol-related, and colorectal pre-cancers compared to cisgender men. These findings underscore the need for tailored interventions and policies addressing cancer health disparities affecting the transgender population.

Effective modeling of diseases in realistic environments is crucial to improve our understanding of diverse pathologies. In this aspect, organoids offer a more faithful environment than their classical two-dimensional counterparts in vitro. Similarly, syngeneic murine models also allow researchers to investigate more complete tumor-host interactions, such as with the immune system, in vivo.

Purpose: Accurate lung cancer TNM staging depends on macroscopic and microscopic tumor evaluation of resection specimens. However, small nodules (<1 cm) are difficult to extract and correlate with in vivo imaging. We investigated whether microCT could better localize lesions or guide pathology to otherwise undetected abnormalities.

Background: Pre-invasive cervical lesion typically progresses for a considerable amount of time before developing into cervical cancer (CC). Consequently, early detection and treatment of cervical cancer at the pre-invasive stage may be advantageous to the patients and lessen the burden of morbidity and mortality from the disease. Our country has limited studies on Precancerous Cervical Lesions (PCCL).

Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) have been the first-line drug of choice for acid-peptic diseases for a long time. While literature is abundant on the efficacy of the drug, the adverse effects of this drug, especially in the gastrointestinal (GI) system, have been a topic of ongoing research interest. The long-term safety profile remains controversial.

Esophageal adenocarcinoma arises from Barrett's esophagus, a metaplastic condition. Multi-omics profiling, integrating single-cell transcriptomics, extracellular matrix proteomics, tissue mechanics and spatial proteomics of the paths of progression from squamous epithelium through metaplasia, dysplasia to adenocarcinoma, in 107 samples from 26 patients in two independent cohorts, defined shared and patient-specific progression characteristics. Metaplastic replacement of epithelial cell composition and architecture was paralleled by changes in stromal cells, extracellular matrix (ECM) and tissue stiffness.
