Article Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the role of pathological features beyond tumor size in the risk of lymph node metastasis in appendiceal neuroendocrine tumors. Analyzing data from the national cancer database, we found that among 5353 cases, 18.8% had lymph node metastasis. Focusing on tumors smaller than 2 cm, a subject of considerable debate in treatment strategies, we identified lymphovascular invasion as one of the strongest predictors of lymph node disease. Interestingly, extension into the subserosa and beyond, a current factor in the staging system, was not a strong predictor. These findings suggest that careful interpretation of pathological features is needed when selecting therapeutic approaches using current staging systems.

Unlabelled: Encephalitis is a potentially life-threatening condition with infectious or autoimmune aetiologies. Autoimmune encephalitis includes paraneoplastic variants associated with specific onconeural antibodies such as anti-Hu, frequently linked to malignancies. Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is the leading infectious cause in adults.

Purpose: The fourth most common cause of cancer-related deaths in women is cervical cancer. Though treatment of early-stage cervical cancer is often effective, middle and advanced stage cervical cancer is hard to treat and prone to recurrence. We sought to explore the mechanism underlying cervical cancer progression to identify new therapeutic approaches.

Background: Lymph node silicosis (LNS) may be found when investigating lung and mediastinal diseases. Co-occurrence of LNS and pulmonary silicosis (PS) has been described but no studies have investigated the diagnostic accuracy of LNS for PS, the aim of this study.

Methods: This cross-sectional study included South African miners with exclusive gold-mining employment who had autopsy examinations from 1975 to 2018.

Background: The diagnostic accuracy of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) for the diagnosis of lymphoma has a low overall sensitivity. The lack of tissue architecture obtained by cytological needles decreases the diagnostic accuracy for diagnosis and subtyping of and relapsed mediastinal lymphomas. This study compares the sensitivity of EBUS-TBNA and endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial mediastinal cryobiopsy (EBUS-TMC) for both initial lymphoma diagnosis and recurrent cases, analyses safety, and evaluates the number of mediastinoscopies that could potentially be avoided due to this novel technique.
