Article Abstract
Background: A histologically involved surgical margin (R1) is often observed after resection for cholangiocarcinoma. Compared with a negative margin (R0), R1 with invasive carcinoma (R1inv) markedly worsens survival, whereas the prognostic effect of R1 with carcinoma in situ (R1cis) remains controversial.
Methods: Patients who underwent resection for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma between 2002 and 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. According to the pathological assessment, the duct margin was classified as R0, R1cis, or R1inv; radial margin positivity was treated as R1inv. Recurrence and survival were compared.
Results: Among the 681 patients, 457 had R0, 69 had R1cis, and 155 had R1inv. The overall five-year recurrence rate was 82.8 % with R1inv, 67.8 % with R1cis, and 47.6 % with R0 (P < 0.001); the local recurrence rate also significantly differed among these groups (P < 0.001). The five-year survival rate was significantly worse with R1cis than with R0 (37.3 % vs. 56.7 %, P < 0.001) and better than that with R1inv (20.9 %, P = 0.007). Multivariate analysis revealed that R1cis was an independent predictor of survival (hazard ratio, 1.65; P < 0.001).
Conclusion: Compared with R0, R1cis significantly deteriorated overall survival in the whole resection subset of patients with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma. However, the prognostic impact of R1cis was milder than that of R1inv.

Background: Iron metabolism may influence breast cancer development; however, links between iron-related biomarkers and breast cancer remain inconclusive. Given differences in iron status by menopausal status, we examined associations of ferritin and other iron biomarkers, with breast cancer incidence, stratified by menopausal status, in a Korean screening cohort.
Methods: This cohort study included 140,747 Korean women screened for breast cancer from 2011-2020.

TP53 mutations are highly associated with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a common and deadly cancer. However, few primary drivers in the progression of HCC with mutant TP53 have been identified. To uncover tumor suppressors in human HCC, a genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9-based screening of primary human hepatocytes with MYC and TP53 overexpression (MT-PHHs) is performed in xenografts.

Background: Cisplatin (DDP) is a clinical first-line chemotherapy drug for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but treatment is often ineffective due to drug resistance. Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1) is a critical regulator/factor in HCC tumor progression. Our previous research showed that DDP promoted the expression of YAP1 in mice bearing H22 cell in situ liver tumors, which might be related to the poor therapeutic effect of DDP.

Encapsulated papillary carcinoma (EPC) is an invasive carcinoma which shows papillary architecture within a thickened fibrous capsule. Multiple studies have shown that this tumor follows an indolent course with excellent prognosis, and as such, it is recommended that it be staged as in situ lesions. It is an uncommonly encountered tumor most often diagnosed in postmenopausal females.

Background: This study aimed to reclassify a subset of poorly differentiated salivary gland carcinoma that do not conform to any entities of the current World Health Organization (WHO) classification into the category of undifferentiated carcinoma (UDC) because they lack specific histologic differentiation or immunophenotype.
Methods: Cases of salivary gland carcinomas from Asan Medical Center (2002-2020) that did not fit any existing WHO classification criteria and were diagnosed as poorly differentiated carcinoma, high-grade carcinoma, or UDC, were retrospectively reviewed. Immunohistochemical (IHC) staining for p40, neuroendocrine markers, androgen receptor (AR), and gross cystic disease fluid protein 15 (GCDFP-15) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in situ hybridization (ISH) were performed.
